Day 4: Simple Staining!

Thursday, September 4, 2013


Today we practiced simple staining of bacteria. 





We gathered our pure culture from the incubator and then proceeded to practice the simple staining. We used crystal violet as our stain. We covered our bacteria with the violet stain and then rinsed the slide with DI water. We then blotted it with the bibulous paper. 



We took pictures of our bacteria, and little purple bacteria showed up! 

So precious, look at how cool they are!! That’s all for now!
