One of your lab partners has followed the recommended procedure of running Gram-positive and Gram-negative control organisms on

her Gram stain of unknown species. Her choices of controls were E. coli and B. subtilis. She tries several times and each time concludes she is decolorizing too long because both controls have pink cells (one more than the other). What might you suggest she try and why?

Answer:

The correct answer is "I would suggest her to change the Gram positive control from Bacillus subtilis to other bacteria".

Explanation:

Bacillus subtilis, and the species from the genre Bacillus, are known for losing the crystal violet coloration during Gram testing. It is likely that B. subtilis might look pink under the procedure for this reason. I would suggest to change her Gram positive control from B. subtilis to other bacteria. For instance, she could try with Staphylococcus aureus, a widely used bacteria as Gram positive control.

Landscape in which limestone is eroded to form deep valleys and caverns
irina [24]
The landscape in which limestone is eroded to form deep valleys and cavers are called Karst landscape or karst topography. This kind of development start occuring whenever the acidic water starts breaking down the bedrocks near the cracks. As the bedrock starts breaking down slowly, the cracks start to open up creating bigger holes. with passage of time the holes will become big enough to create an underground drainage system for the surface water to flow and form underneath. If the water is unable to flow out and becomes stagnant, then the Karst will start getting bigger.
