<h2>Koch's Postulates.</h2>
Explanation:
The next step should be isolate the microorganism from the mice and check if it is identical to the original microbe.
According to Koch's postulates, a microbe can be considered as a causative agent of a disease only after all the following are established:
- The microorganism should be present in all the organism suffering from the disease.
- The isolated microorganism should be grown in pure culture.
- The organism grown in the culture should be reintroduced in the susceptible but healthy host.
- Finally the microorganism must be re-isolated from the experimental host an cultured to see whether it is identical to the original specific microorganism.
Answer:
a. No discrepancy is present; organisms that contain an outer membrane and periplasmic space should stain pink because of their cell wall composition.
Explanation:
Gram stain is the staining method used to differentiate bacterial species into two groups, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Factors that will differentiate gram-positive from gram-negative include the coloration of bacteria, the composition and chemical and physical properties of cell walls. In these tests, bacteria that have an outer membrane and a periplasmic space are considered gram negative and pink in color (sometimes similar to red) due to their cellular composition. For this reason we can state that there is no discrepancy present in the bacteria exposed in the question; Because this bacterium has an outer membrane and a periplasmic space, then it is normal for the bacteria to turn pink due to its cell wall composition.
I think the answer is A
Hope this helps!!!!!:)
Have a great day!!
