Classification bacteria based on Gram's staining A- Gram-positive bacteria retain a dye-iodine complex and appear purple under the light microscope because have a thick layer of peptidoglycan on their cell wall. B- Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the a dye-iodine complex and appear pink because have only a thin layer. Reagents 1- Crystal violet primary stain mordant that fixes crystal violet to 2- Iodine solution/Gram's Iodine cell wall 3- Decolorizer e.g. ______ 4- Safranin secondary stain 5- Water preferably in a squirt bottl

Harmful activity of bacteria Bacterial infections are diseases that can affect your skin, lungs, brain, blood and other parts of your body. harmful effects of bacteria in humans: 1. Bacteria are also linked with cancer. 2. They are responsible for some of the spoilage of food. 3. They can also cause simple allergies and chronic inflammation. 4. In some cases, the bacteria can advance to the flesh and tissues of the host and hence are called flesh-eating bacteria. 5. They are responsible for many infectious diseases like pneumonia, ______, diphtheria, syphilis, and tooth decay. 6. Some bacteria cause cellulose degradation thereby destroying textiles, wooden articles, and canvas. Food spolilage Bacterial animal diseases include 1- plague, ______, pneumonia, anthrax, 2-meningitis and haemorrhagic septicaemia.
