No bacteria exist without a cell wall! If they loose cell wall then they die. Gram staining is used to differentiate gram positive (that doesnt have outer membrane) and gram negative (cell wall+outer membrane) bacteria.

∙ 14y agoYes. It would stain gram negative. The gram stain was actually originally used to distinguish between baterial cells and human cells.

Which part of bacteria cell is most involved in gram stain?
The cell wall.. gram stain tests for presence of a thick outer layer of peptidoglycan.
What characteristic does a gram stain indicate?
The difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
What causes a stain to adhere to bacterial cells?
In a gram positive stain it is because the cell's cell wall is made up of peptioglycan
Does the gram stain procedure work for all bacteria?
Yes. The gram stain procedure separates all bacteria into one of two groups - into gram-negative bacteria which do not stain purple and into gram-positive cells which do stain purple. In structural terms, the ability of a cell to become stained during the gram stain procedure is due to the chemical makeup of the cell wall.
What is the function of iodine solution in the gram stain?
It allows the primary stain crystal violet to remain in the cell instead of being washed out. Due to the larger size of the crystal violet molecule, when the ethanol is applied (the decolorizer) the stain will not be washed out of the Gram (+) positive cells.
What is the difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria?
The presence of thick cell wall. Gram positives have a thick cell wall and remain blue. Gram negatives have a thin cell wall where the blue stain washes out and then will stain pink with the counter stain.
Which part of bacteria cell is most involved in gram stain?
The cell wall.. gram stain tests for presence of a thick outer layer of peptidoglycan.
Are polymers gram negative?
A gram stain tests the contents of the cell wall. Polymers do not have cell walls.
What is the Gram stain for measles?
Bacteria stain either gram-positive or gram-negative based on the presence or absence of a cell wall. Viruses do not pick up a gram stain.
What is the gram stain for measles virus?
Bacteria stain either gram-positive or gram-negative based on the presence or absence of a cell wall. Viruses do not pick up a gram stain.
Which thing make gram positive bacteria to get stain?
the smooth part of the cell wall make it to get stain
What characteristic does a gram stain indicate?
The difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
What causes a stain to adhere to bacterial cells?
In a gram positive stain it is because the cell's cell wall is made up of peptioglycan
What happens if you use gram stain on a virus?
Most likely nothing. The gram stain will only stain the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacteria. Most viruses have a protein coat called a capsid. The capsid will not take up either the crystal violet or the safranin of a Gram stain.
Did you stain the bacterial cell wall or the cell cytoplasm?
Yes, it is. Using the Gram staining method, the wall can be seen.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus gram stain?
Would be gram-positive because of the cell wall of the Staphylococci.
