kumquat or negative kumquat
Yellow, green, and purple are the colors of Mardi Gras. Green stands for faith, yellow for power, and purple for justice.
If you mean what does purple mean in the Bible, I believe I can answer your question. Purple as a color in the Bible represents wealth or royalty. If someone were a seller of purple cloth it would mean that they are well off financially because of who they are selling it to.
Purple was the color of royalty. Purple dye was extremely rare and expensive in Biblical times, and only royalty could usually afford it.
It is 1/15.
Gram-positive cells are purple and the Gram-negative cells are red.
A positive EGR valve has purple fireflies on it.
Gram positive are purple. Just remember Positive+Purple. Gram negative are a reddish color from the safranin. After using the crystal violet, the grams iodine acts as a mordant to hold color on cell wall. When using the alcohol, the gram positive will stay purple while the gram negative will become clear. This is due to the outer cell wall of the gram negative specimen (lipopolysaccharide) basically being stripped by the alcohol, so now you have a clear specimen again. When you add the safranin it sticks to the gram negative cell wall, hince the red/pink color.
Gram-positive does not refer to a positive charge, but to the purple color of the stain. Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the purple dye and are instead red in color.
S. mitis stains purple and therefore is a gram positive bacteria
it can be gram negative or gram positive; which the color would be pink or purple.
Red or pink. Gram Positive = Purple or Violet, Gram Negative = Red or Pink. I just think of the mnemonic Positive-Purple both starting with P.
it can be gram negative or gram positive; which the color would be pink or purple.
If the Gram stain is properly done, and based on color alone: - you CANNOT distinguish between Staphylococcus (positive/purple) and Streptococcus (positive/purple) - you CAN distinguish between Staphylococcus (positive/purple) and Neisseria (negative/red) - you CANNOT distinguish between Escherichia (negative/red) and Proteus (negative/red) - you CAN distinguish between Escherichia (negative/red) and Bacillus (positive/purple) Gram positives will stain purple because of the retention of the dye (crystal violet) in their thick peptidoglycan cell walls. On the other hand, Gram negatives have a thin cell wall and cannot retain the purple stain, so when they are counterstained, they will appear red
B'coz gm positive bacteria get stained with the colour of safranine...
gram positive is purple while gram negative is reddish,gram positive is composed of peptidolycan and also have a little similarities with archean's
Yes. Staphylococci are classified as gram positive bacteria and appear as purple spheres when Gram stained.
