Move the descriptions into the correct boxes to assess your understanding of the differential staining techniques, including acid-fast stain, and spore stain. - Does not require heat to be used in staining process - Result is purple and red/pink cells - Distinguishes between active metabolic cells and dormant structures - Uses basic fuchsin, acid-alcohol, and methylene blue - Differentiates cells with high lipid content in cell wall - A chemical is used as a mordant - Differentiates cells based on thickness of peptidoglycan layer - Important diagnostic tool in Mycobacterium infections - Uses malachite green - Spore Stain - Gram Stain - Acid-Fast Stain - Reset

Provide information regarding microbial size, shape, motility, and differentiation of the following preparations: spore stain, negative stain, simple stain, hanging drop slide, and Gram stain. Could the Gram stain be used to diagnose the flu? Why or why not?

Both the Gram staining and endospore staining procedures are considered differential staining techniques. Please explain why.
