A Negative stain such as India ink or Congo red-Look for the presence of a capsule.
This stain method is usually used to stain the area around the microorganism.
B The Gram stain-Divide bacteria into two groups based on cell wall structure (thick vs. thin).
This is type of differential staining used to distinguish organisms based on their staining properties. Gram + and Gram- bacteria stain different because of different cell wall structure.
C The Ziehl-Neelsen Acid-fast stain- Identify bacteria with waxy cell walls such as: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the cause of TB).
This is also differential staining method which uses heat and phenol to derive dye into the cells with lipid-rich walls.
D Simple stain with a basic dye-Stain microbes a bright color to make it easier to see them in bright field microscopy.
One dye is used in simple staining in order to determinate the size, shape and arrangement of the cells.
E The Schaeffer-Fulton Endospore stain-Identify Bacillus or Clostridium species, such as the causative agents of anthrax, botulism, tetanus and gangrene.
This is a special type of staining only used for the bacteria that can form endospores. Bacteria are first treated with heat and then with malachite green, which is very strong stain that can penetrate endospores.
Answer:
The elemental is required in very small amount. (Ans. A)
Explanation:
Trace element is also known as micro-nutrient. It is also defined as any chemical element required by living organisms in a minute or small amounts which is usually part of the vital enzyme (cells produced by catalytic protein).
Exact needs of trace elements vary among species, like commonly required plant trace elements are cooper, zinc, manganese, boron, and molybdenum. Animals commonly required iodine, manganese, and cobalt.
Absence of necessary plant trace elements required by plants in the soil causes deficiency disease, lack of animal trace elements used by animals in the soil may not harm plants, but, animals feeding on those plants develop their deficiency disease.
So, the adjective trace means that the elemental is required in a very small amount.
Answer: Major grain crops are corn, wheat, barley, oats, rye, rice, sorghum, and soybeans. Less than 10 percent of the corn grown in the U.S. is for human consumption. Legume plants such as dry beans and peas are important foods in the diet of many Americans and people around the world.
