STAINING of the fleece by bacterial pigments has been described 1, and a number of colours have been attributed to a variety of organisms. Recent investigations on the staining of Corriedale ...

THE usual method for staining bacterial and yeast spores requires three operations: the staining of both spores and vegetative cells by applying heat to the slide bearing the dye; the removal of ...

was required to show any decided bactericidal action. Crystal violet showed about the same selective and bactericidal action as gentian violet. 3. Methylene blue as made up for staining showed little ...

In contrast to direct stains that bind to bacteria directly, a negative stain colors the background of a smear rather than the bacteria. These stains have negatively charged functional groups so they ...

The cell wall of most bacteria has an overall net negative charge and thus can be stained directly with a single basic (positively charged) stain or dye. This type of stain allows us to observe the ...

Multiple images of fluorescence-stained cells are captured and analyzed automatically for rapid and accurate bacterial cell counts. The QUANTOM™ Total Cell Staining Dye is a green fluorescent ...
