1. Match the expected result (purple, red, or colorless) to the following descriptions of Gram-stained cells. Consult your chart at the beginning of this lab report if you need help remembering the correct Gram reaction for each species. Choices may be used more than once. (5pts) a. Staphylococcus aureus before the primary stain________ b. Pseudomonas aeruginosa after the primary stain __________ c. Bacillus megaterium after the addition of the mordant ____________ d. Staphylococcus aureus after decolorization _________________ e. Moraxella catarrhalis after decolorization_____________ f. Pseudomonas aeruginosa after decolorization_____________ g. Bacillus megaterium after adding the counterstain___________ h. Escherichia coli under the microscope if you forgot to apply safranin___________ i. Escherichia coli under the microscope if you forgot to apply decolorizer__________ j. Bacillus megaterium under the microscope if you forgot to apply iodine__________ A= Purple B= Red C= Colorless
