Chapter 3, Problem 7E.2RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: Whether the simple staining techniques can be used to identify more than the morphological characteristics of microorganisms.
Introduction: Bacteria are the unicellular prokaryotic organisms that maintain a definite shape since it contains the rigid cell wall. It is classified into different types based on the structure namely coccus (spherical shaped), Bacillus (rod shaped), filamentous, spirilla (spiral shaped), appendaged, and pleomorphic bacteria. The structure and size of the bacteria can be viewed under the microscope using the staining methods.
