Regulation
Purpose It is the counting stain of the Gram staining method. With this staining procedure, microorganisms are separated as gram positive and gram negative.
Working Principle Gram Positive/Negative status is a feature of the cell wall (peptidoglycan) structure of bacteria. The peptidoglycan structure of Gram Negative bacteria is thinner between the outer membrane and inner membrane than Gram Positive bacteria. In Gram positive bacteria, the thick peptidoglycan is capable of retaining crystal violet. Lugol ensures the retention of the dye. Cell wall permeability of Gram positive bacteria is less. Therefore, they do not release dyes during decolourisation with denatured alcohol. In Gram-negative bacteria, alcohol dissolves the lipids in the outer membrane, the pores open and the crystal violet disperses. Gram-negative bacteria are then stained with fuchsin added to the medium.
Warnings, Precautions, Recommendations Highly flammable liquid and vapour.
Ingredients Fuchsin, phenol, ethanol.
