  • LAB 3: Morphological Characteristics of Bacteria Protocols for Endospore Stain, Capsule Stain, Motility Stab and Wet Mount
    LAB 3: Morphological Characteristics of Bacteria Protocols for Endospore Stain, Capsule Stain, Motility Stab and Wet Mount. INTRODUCTION Bacteria are characterized by the presence or absence of a number of different structures. Endospores, capsules and flagella are three such examples. Each of these structures is visible with light microscopy if the correct staining procedure is employed. ENDOSPORES are survival structures. In poor growth conditions some genera may sporulate. Rather than dying, endospores survive in a dormant state. Endospores are unique to Bacteria and are formed by a limited number of bacterial genera. The soil bacteria within the genera Bacillus and Clostridium are the most familiar. The stepwise process of sporulation is triggered by poor growth conditions ( see the discussion of the process of sporulation in your text). The transition from vegetative cell to endopsore requires an environmental signal and then a series of steps. The The endospore forms within the vegetative cell. A wall forms around a copy of the bacterial chromosome, capturing some ribosomes, proteints and DNA. The endospore forming within the cell can be visualized using the light microscope. As the sporulation process continues, layers form within the spore making it very dense. Exterior to the spore, the vegetative cell dies. At the completion of sporulation, oval spores are visible using light microscopy. Endospores cannot replicate. However they allow survival in lean times. In fact they are resistant to extreme environmental conditions such as high temperatures, dryness, toxic chemicals, and UV radiation. The dormant structure allows cell survival until conditions favorable to cell growth returns. Favorable growth conditions signal the process of endospore germination.

  • DIFFERENTIAL STAINING, Part I
    DIFFERENTIAL STAINING, Part I Differential staining is a procedure that takes advantage of differences in the physical and chemical properties of different groups of bacteria. It allows us to differentiate between different kinds of bacterial cells or different parts of a bacterial cell. I. GRAM STAIN The most commonly used differential stain is the Gram stain, first described in 1884 by Christian Gram, a Danish physician. The Gram reaction divides bacteria into two groups, those which are Gram-positive and those which are Gram-negative. Those organisms which retain the primary stain (crystal violet) are stained purple and are designated Gram-positive; those which lose the crystal violet and are subsequently stained by a safranin counterstain appear red and are designated Gram-negative. The conventional Gram-stain technique is described in the Procedure part of this handout; however, it is important to recognize early on that two aspects of the procedure are crucial: 1. The crystal violet treatment must precede iodine treatment. Iodine acts as a mordant, i.e., it increases the affinity of the cells for the crystal violet. Iodine alone has no bacterial staining capabilities. 2. Decolorization must be short and precise. Too long an exposure to 95% alcohol will decolorize Gram-positive as well as Gram-negative cells. The Gram stain has been used as a taxonomic tool for many years, aiding in the classification and identification of bacterial cells. However, it is also useful in a broader sense, as there appears to be a close correlation between the Gram reaction and many other morphological and physiological characteristics of bacterial cells.

    ANATECH LTD INNOVATOR Special Stains Issue Special Stains Issue Hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) is the gold stan- dard for demonstration of tissue structure in anatomic pathology. However, by utilizing vari- ous dye solutions, special stains allow further visualization of major macromolecules (e.g., carbohydrates, proteins, minerals) in a rainbow of colors beyond the blue and pink hues of H & E staining.

  • Selective and Recyclable Congo Red Dye Adsorption by Spherical Fe3o4
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Selective and Recyclable Congo Red Dye Adsorption by Spherical Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Functionalized with 1,2,4,5-Benzenetetracarboxylic Acid Sobhan Chatterjee1, Nikita Guha2, Sarathkumar Krishnan2, Amrendra K. Singh1, Pradeep Mathur1 & Dhirendra K. Rai2* In this study, the new material Fe3O4@BTCA has been synthesized by immobilization of 1,2,4,5-Benzenetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) on the surface of Fe3O4 NPs, obtained by co-precipitation of FeCl3.6H2O and FeCl2.4H2O in the basic conditions. Characterization by P-XRD, FE-SEM, and TEM confrm Fe3O4 has a spherical crystalline structure with an average diameter of 15 nm, which after functionalization with BTCA, increases to 20 nm. Functionalization also enhances the surface area and surface charge of the material, confrmed by BET and zeta potential analyses, respectively. The dye adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@BTCA has been investigated for three common dyes; Congo red (C.R), Methylene blue (M.B), and Crystal violet (C.V). The adsorption studies show that the material rapidly and selectively adsorbs C.R dye with very high adsorption capacity (630 mg/g), which is attributed to strong H-bonding ability of BTCA with C.R dye as indicated by adsorption mechanism study. The material also shows excellent recyclability without any considerable loss of adsorption capacity. Adsorption isotherm and kinetic studies suggest that the adsorption occurs by the Langmuir adsorption model following pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics. Organic dyes are one of the signifcant contributors to water pollution caused by the discharge of efuent from various industries such as textile, plastic, printing, photographic, paper-pulp, paint, and leather1–9.

The unique properties of HCW facilitated the degradation efficiency without addition of any organic solvent. The influences of reaction time, temperature, initial dye concentration and amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the degradation of CR and the removal of total organic carbon (TOC) from the product solution were investigated. The presence of H2O2 was found to enhance the degradation of CR. The results showed that the degradation yield could reach 99.0% with a solution of 100 ppm CR and 50 mM H2O2 at 150°C at the end of 60 min. Maximum conversion of the total organic carbon was recorded as 62.2%. Moreover, the effect of the presence of 2- - 2- 2- several co-existing negative ions such as SO4 , Cl , CO3 were investigated. It was found that the presence of SO4 2- - accelerated evidently the degradation of CR.

(1969), 22, 410-413 An evaluation of current methods for the diagnostic histochemistry of amyloid JOHN H. COOPER From the Department ofPathology, Pathology Institute, and Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada SYNOPSIS Six current histological methods for demonstrating amyloid (crystal violet, thioflavine-T fluorescence, Congo-red staining and fluorescence, Sirius-red staining, and Congo- or Sirius-red birefringence) were applied in 25 cases of amyloidosis of various types and 47 pseudo-amyloid lesions. The results were compared and were correlated with those of ancillary histochemical tests and clinico-pathological data and each method's sensitivity and specificity for amyloid was evalu- ated. Thioflavine-T and, to a lesser degree, Congo-red fluorescence and Sirius-red staining proved very sensitive but not specific. Green birefringence with Congo or Sirius red was specific but not completely sensitive. The coexistence of Congo-red (and Sirius-red) staining and a positive DMAB-nitrite reaction occurred in all amyloid specimens and appeared specific for amyloid. Three main techniques are currently employed for Microscopical discovery of amyloid deposits the histological demonstration of amyloid: 'meta- comprises two distinct, sequential operations, chromasia' with triphenylmethane dyes (eg, crystal screening and identification. The former, though it violet); staining with substantive cotton dyes (Congo can be performed suboptimally on sections stained http://jcp.bmj.com/ red, Sirius red), with or without fluorescence or by routine methods, ideally requires a method with polarization microscopy; and fluorescence with a high degree of sensitivity, both qualitative, whereby thiazole dyes (eg, thioflavine-T).
