A

1st dye- crystal violet, rinse with water
2nd- add iodine- mordant (intensifies the crystal violet)
3rd- alcohol- decolorize
4- safranin- a red dye

Q

this type of bacteria will appear violet under the microscope indicating that it has a thicker cell wall

A

GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA ( the harder it is to remove the first color stain even through alcohol and safranin the thicker the cell wall)
