What would happen if a gram-positive bacterium was placed in very salty water? Why?
What is one structural difference between Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive bacterium) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative bacterium) that would make them have different susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents?
diagram and label the cell wall structure of both a gram positive bacterium and a gram negative bacterium
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a Gram-positive bacterium that is normally found living on the surface of human skin. Describe the cell wall components of this organism. If a particular strain of S. epidermidis is discovered to be aerobic, then what process would it use to make ATP? Considering where S. epidermidis is normally found, would you expect this organism to be an extreme thermophile? Why or why not?
What is the impact of placing a Gram positive bacterium into each of the following types of solutions? Isotonic solution Hypotonic solution Hypertonic solutio n
what will happen to a Gram positive cell that you’re Gram staining(usually purple? if you forgot to heat fix it?
If I have a gram negatie bacterium, what are reasons that it would not grow on MacConkey agar???
A Gram stain of unknown bacterium A grown for 24 hours show purple cells. Is bacterium A Gram positive or Gram negative? A gram stain of bacterium A grown for 72 hours shows both purple and pink stained cells. Additional analysis shows that bacterium A is NOT contaminated. Explain these results. You are given 2 nutrient broth tubes each containing a pure culture of one of two Gram positive bacteria. Unfortunately, the labels have washed off and you are asked...

Pre-Lab Questions: After staining what color will Gram positive bacteria be? What color will Gram negative bacteria be? What structure is more prominent in Gram positive bacteria than Gram negative bacteria? Why should I not spray water aggressively or directly on my bacteria on my slide?
How would bacterium lacking peptidoglycan react in a gram stain? Would they simply not show color or would they be purple from the crystal violet even though the crystal violet latches to the peptidoglycan?
