Answer: Acid fast stain:
Pink bacteria: Acid fast Positive
Blue bacteria: Acid fast negative
Gram stain:
Pink bacteria: Gram negative
Violet bacteria : Gram positive.
There is a difference in these colours as it means that the acid fast stain have pink color as it link to their cell walls known as mycolic acid which is waxy substance and it holds on to the carbolfuchsin. The other dose not have the presence of mycolic acid so they are acid fast negative.
How do acid fast stain results compare to gram stain results? a. In other words, what...
why isn't the gram stain used on acid fast bacteria ?if you did Gram stain acid fast bacteria ,what would their Gram reaction be?what is the gram reaction of non acid fast bacteria

LAB REPORT 2- Selected questions from Exercise 3-7 (Acid-fast stain) Note: This is turned in after you have viewed your acid fast stain slides. Bacteria for this exercise are: Mycobacterium smegmatis (or M. phlei) and S. aureus. Q1. Acid fast bacteria are have some significant differences as compared to non-acid fast bacteria. What are the major chemical (structural) differences among these different bacteria that might explain the acid-fast stain? Hint: This structural difference also affects the way the bacteria grow...
