Describe in detail why the Gram stain procedures stain Gram + bacteria purple, and Gram - bacteria pink. DO NOT JUST SAY "THICK OR THINNER CELL WALL". I want to know the detailed specifics of the steps that result in WHY this procedure stains cells differentially. Think and find out the mechanisms of how each of the procedures.
