Question

Melissa is studying a Gram-stained slide of curd bacteria. She sees many rod-shaped, violet-colored bacteria.

What type of bacteria are they?

Answer 1

When we color bacteria with a "Gram stain,"
we're trying to find out which two groups of bacteria it could be:

1. Gram Positive
2. Gram Negative

Gram POSITIVE bacteria turn PURPLE, when we stain them.
Gram NEGATIVE bacteria turn PINK when we stain them.

Answer 2

There are also three main different shapes of bacteria:

1. Coccus (round)
2. Bacillus (rod)
3. Spirillum (spiral)

Look at this picture:

It's pretty simple. All we have to do is memorize it.
