Micro Lab 4: Bacterial Structure, Simple Stains, Negative Stains, Gram & Acid-Fast Stains

[@nyawirawaithaka4993]

Thank you so much! Very well explained.

[@ProfessorSimms]

You are very welcome :)

you are very interesting teacher thanks.

Thank you so much for the compliment.

It sucks cause im taking this class online and i think that it’s definitely not meant to be an online course. Hands on work creates muscle memory crucial to understand this.

[@ProfessorSimms]

There are many online simulations that can help you gain the hands-on benefits of lab work. Here some examples:

Why is ZN stain used instead of Gram stain in spite of the organism being a bacteria?

[@ProfessorSimms]

Ziehl-Neelsen staining is a bacteriological stain used to identify acid-fast organisms, mainly Mycobacteria.
