Staining of BacteriaStaining of Bacteria
Bacteria cells Bacteria cells are are almost almost colorlesscolorless and and

A staining technique is often applied to the A staining technique is often applied to the
cells to cells to color themcolor them → →

Principle of stainingPrinciple of staining
StainsStains → combine → combine chemicallychemically with the with the bacterial protoplasm.bacterial protoplasm.
Commonly used stains are Commonly used stains are saltssalts::Basic dyesBasic dyes:: colored cationcolored cation + colorless + colorless
anionanion e.g. e.g. methylene blue methylene blue (methylene blue (methylene blue
chloride)chloride) MBMB++ + Cl + Cl- -
Acidic dyes:Acidic dyes: colored anioncolored anion + colorless + colorless cationcation
e.g. e.g. eosin ( Naeosin ( Na++ + eosin + eosin--).).

Bacterial cells areBacterial cells are slightly negatively slightly negatively chargedcharged ( rich in nucleic acids bearing ( rich in nucleic acids bearing negative charges as phosphate groups)negative charges as phosphate groups)
→ → combine withcombine with positively charged positively charged basic dyesbasic dyes
Acidic dyesAcidic dyes do do not stain the bacterial not stain the bacterial cellcell → → can can stain the background stain the background materialmaterial with a contrasting color.with a contrasting color.

Gram Stain:Gram Stain:It is the It is the most important most important differential staindifferential stain used in used in bacteriology because bacteriology because it classified bacteria it classified bacteria into into two major groups:two major groups:
a)a)Gram Gram positive:positive:
Appears violet after Gram’s stain
b)b) Gram Gram negative:negative:
Appears red after Gram’s stain
