QuestionAnswer
endospore stain 1) heat-fixed slide 2)cover slide w/bib. paper & apply grn stain 3)steam 7-10 min (keeping the paper moist at all times with stain) then rinse 4)counterstain w/safranin red for 1min then rinse & dry 5)cells w/o spores will be red 6)spore will be gr
differential stain a stain that allow someone to detect differences between organisms or parts of organisms
simple stain stains are attracted to the negatively charged surface of most bacterial cells
negative stain stain is negatively charged so it bounces off of the negatively charged surface of most bacterial cells
direct staining the staining of a cells wall using a positively charged stain that attracts to the cells negatively charged cell wall
indirect staining the staining of the background using a negatively charged stain that repels the negatively charged cell wall

Selective Media allows certain types of organisms to grow & inhibits the growth of others. EMB (G-) CNA (G+) MacConkey (G-) MSA (G+) PEA (G-)

cardinal temperature the Optimum temperature preferred by a MO
phychrophiles only grow below 20 degrees C
mesophiles grow between 15 & 45 degrees C can be pathogenic

Antimicrobial drugs Natural agents produced by MO's mass produced for treatment of illness
Kirby-Bauer Method anti-microbiotic soaked paper placed on a pathogenic culture plate. After being incubated measure each zone of inhibition to determine which Antimicrobial drug will fight illness
