Chapter 3, Problem 10R
NAME IT A sputum sample from Calle, a 30-year-old Asian elephant, was smeared onto a slide and air dried. The smear was fixed, covered with carbolfuchsin, and heated for 5 minutes. After washing with water, acid-alcohol was placed on the smear for 30 seconds. Finally, the smear was stained with methylene blue for 30 seconds, washed with water, and dried. On examination at 1000×, the zoo veterinarian saw red rods on the slide. What microbe do these results suggest?

They are all (all seven unknowns) now blue in color. Then the seven test tubes are immersed in a warm water bath.
