STAINING OF BACTERIAL CELLS Objective Introduction

fast stain differentiates an important group of bacteria, the mycobacteria, on the basis of lipid content of their cell wall. In the Gram stain, cells from a culture are spread in a thin film over a small area of a slide, dried, and then fixed by heating or with a chemical fixative to make the cells adhere to the glass slide.
