DIRECT OBSERVATION OF A BACTERIUM
• Can not be observed in naked eye• Microscopy:• Direct evidence– Shape– Arrangement– Staining characteristics
• Indirect evidence– Motility

HOW BACTERIAL STRUCTURE INFLUENCES STAINING METHOD
• GRAM STAIN– Primary stain (crystal violet) is retained in gram positive
bacteria due to thick cell wall. Hence bacteria stained purple or blue
– Gram negative bacteria loss the primary stain easily due to thin cell wall and take the counter stain color (red carbol fuchsin)
• ACID FAST STAIN– Due to mycolic acid in the cell wall of acid fast bacteria
primary stained (red carbol fuchsin) is applied in hot state. Hence the bacteria is red
