Bacteria can be seen without staining. why then was koch's recommendation for fixing and staining important for the discovery of
Nonamiya [84]

Although bacteria can be seen without staining, not all of their characteristics can be visible. Thus, with staining one can see if the bacteria is gram positive or negative, the outer wall's or capsule's structure, the exact size and texture of the surface etc. Without staining, it would be very difficult if not impossible to differentiate between different bacteria types.

Fixing a bacteria allows the scientist to immobilize and preserve it. Thus a complex study can be performed over a longer period of time. The bacteria can also be preserved in order to be restudied at a later date.

- It also lives in places where there is a low mineral level in the soil, so it gathers these vital nutrients from catching and digesting insects.
- For reproductive purposes, the flowers of Venus flytraps usually grows on tall stalks far above the leaves. This adaption of the plant is made so the the insects pollinating the flowers do not get trapped in the leaves. This is an anatomical adaptation that affects the flowers and the stems.
