These are bacteria whose classification has been based on their ability to retain the crystal violet dye after a brief wash with alcohol in the differential gram staining. Gram-positive bacteria stain purple while the Gram-negative bacteria stain Pink, after losing the purple color during the alcoh...
Figure 4. (a) In this gram-stained specimen, the violet rod-shaped cells forming chains are the gram-positive bacteriaBacillus cereus. The small, pink cells are the gram-negative bacteriaEscherichia coli. (b) In this culture, white colonies ofB. cereushave been grown on sheep blood agar. (...
Aerobic gram-positive bacilli are a group of bacteria identified by metabolic processes and stain color. Explore the defining characteristics of aerobic gram-positive bacilli, types of these bacteria, and tests used to identify them in a lab. ...

Bacteria are prokaryotic, one-celled organisms found almost everywhere on earth, even in the most harsh conditions. Because they are prokaryotes, they lack membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. They have a cell wall that protects their structure and shape....

The layers outside the IM form the CW, which is notably responsible for maintaining the shape and integrity of the cell. One can distinguish two main types of bacteria based on the CW structure. Gram-positive bacteria possess a thick PG (i.e., 30–100 nm) associated with proteins. In ...
Gram positive cell walls also contain chains ofteichoic acidthat extend from the plasma membrane through the peptidoglycan cell wall. These sugar-containing polymers assist in maintaining cell shape and play a role in proper cell division. Teichoic acid helps some Gram positive bacteria to infect ...
crystal violet which inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. The differential ingredient is lactose. Fermentation of this sugar results in an acidic pH and causes the pH indicator, neutral red, to turn a bright pinky-red color. Thus organisms capable of lactose fermentation such as Escherich...
