Answer:
The two important conditions that must be met before gram staining are-
1. The age of the culture should not exceed 24 hours.
2. Over heating, decolonization should be avoided.
Explanation:
Gram staining is a technique developed to distinguish the bacteria on the basis of the composition of the cell wall around the bacteria.
The gram stain is a sensitive technique so must be performed carefully. The precautions should be taken to avoid any error while gram staining that is-
1. Age of the culture- The culture should be freshly prepared just 18-24 hours before the experiment as above 24 hours bacteria lose their ability to retain the color so one would not be able to differentiate between the cultures.
2. While performing the experiment one should avoid overheating and decolorization with ethanol as both the factors lead to the loss of crystal violet stain from the cell and they take pinkish color after safranin staying.
the main difference is that bacteria are free-living cells that can live inside or outside a body, while viruses are a non-living collection of molecules that need a host to survive.
Many bacteria help us: living in our gut digesting and helping absorption of our food, fixing nitrogen and decomposing organic materials in soil. Similarly, not all viruses are bad—we now know there are also beneficial viruses present in our gut, skin and blood that can kill undesirable bacteria and more dangerous viruses.
