Bacteriologist Question:
Tell us which Part Of The Bacteria Actually Gets Stained?
Answer:
It is the cytoplasm (especially the nucleic acid) that gets stained and not the cell wall. Presence of an intact cell wall is important for retaining Gram positivity. Cell wall deficient forms such as Mycoplasma and L forms are Gram negative.
