Gram’s method of staining accomplished this, thereby sorting organisms into two classes. Gram-positive and Gram-negative. The Gram stain is one of the most important and widely used differential staining techniques. The combination of gentian violet, fixed by iodine solution, in some bacteria makes a substance soluble in acetone alcohol, and in others makes an insoluble substance. Gram negative cell walls have a high lipid content. During the staining procedure the alcohol extracts the lipid which results in increased permeability of the gram negative cell wall. Thus the gentian violet-iodine complex is soluble and can be extracted from the gram negative organisms. Gram positive bacteria cell walls are less permeable and the gentian violet-iodine complex is insoluble and cannot be extracted. Gram positive organisms will be stained violet and Gram-negative organisms, pink. PROCEDURE: 1. Stain with a drop of Gentian Violet for 60 seconds. 2. Rinse in water - Blot dry. 3. Cover with Grams Iodine for 60 seconds. Rinse and Blot dry. 4. Decolorize quickly with acetone alcohol. Rinse and Blot dry. 5. Stain with Safranin for 60 seconds. Rinse, Blot dry. 6. Examine under the oil immersion objective.
