Q

what are bacilli

A

rod shaped bacteria

19
Q

what are cocco bacilli

A

rounded rod shaped bacteria

20
Q

what are 3 types of spiral bacteria

A
  1. vibrio
  2. spirillum
  3. spirochaete
21
Q

what is vibrio

A

comma shape

22
Q

what is spirillum

A

wavy shape

23
Q

what is spirochaete

A

tight curls shape

24
Q

what is purpose of simple stain

A

indicate presence of bacteria

25
what is purpose of differential stain
separate bacteria into groups
26
what kind of stain is gram stain
differential
27
what does gram stain separate bacteria into
1. gram pos | 2. gram neg
28
what is peptidoglycan (PG)
structural mesh in bacterial cell wall
29
what does gram stain depend on
amount of PG in bacterial cell wall
30
what are steps in gram staining (8)
1. treat slide with methanol 2. add CV 3. wash off CV 4. add iodine 5. wash off iodine 6. decolourize with acetone-alcohol mix 7. counter stain with safarin 8. wash off counterstain
31
what happens when CV added
sticks to PG in bacterial cell wall
32
what happens when iodine added
1. sticks to PG in bacterial cell wall | 2. complexes with CV
33
what does CV iodine complex do in PG
precipitates
34
GRAM + PG of gram pos
thick
35
GRAM + what does acetone-alcohol wash do
compress PG
36
GRAM + what does compression of PG result in
lock in CV iodine complex
37
GRAM -PG of gram neg
thin
38
GRAM -what is PG of gram neg attached to
outer mem
39
GRAM -what does acetone-alcohol wash do
disrupts outer mem ==> disrupts / rips out PG
40
GRAM -what happens when PG disrupted / ripped out
1. rip out CV iodine complex | 2. lose purple colour (bacteria no longer visible under microscope)
41
what does counterstain do
give gram neg pink colour
42
what does counterstain have no effect on
gram pos
43
what are bacteria lacking
nucleus
44
where are chromosomes of bacteria
cyto
