Shapes and Arrangements of Bacteria(Separate Presentation)
![Page 5: Diversity of Microorganisms 1- Prokaryotic](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/5465c98db4af9ff3478b4af3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Bacteria can lose their characteristic shape because of adverse growth condition which prevents the production of normal cell wall.
Some can revert back to normal shape while others cannot.
Mycoplasma do not have cell walls. Pleomorphism- ability to exist in variety of
shapes.

Preparation of smear Heat fixation Methanol fixation Purpose of fixation:
• Kills the organism• Preserves their morphology• Anchors the smear to the slide
![Page 8: Diversity of Microorganisms 1- Prokaryotic](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/5465c98db4af9ff3478b4af3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Simple staining• Determine the morphology• Dye is applied to the fixed smear, rinse, dried and
examined using OIO. Structural staining
• Use to observe bacterial capsules, spores, and flagella.
Differential staining• Gram staining• Acid-fast staining

Clostridium tetani Bacillus subtilis
Gram-positive bacteria tend to be killed by penicillin and detergents.Gram-negative bacteria are more resistant to antibiotics.
![Page 13: Diversity of Microorganisms 1- Prokaryotic](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/5465c98db4af9ff3478b4af3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Use to identify Mycobacteria spp. Carbol fuschin (bright red) is driven into
the bacterial cell using heat. Heat softens the waxes of the cell walls of
Mycobacteria, enabling the stain to penetrate.
A decolorizing agent (acid-alcohol) is then used in an attempt to remove the red color from the cells.
![Page 14: Diversity of Microorganisms 1- Prokaryotic](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/5465c98db4af9ff3478b4af3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Because Mycobacteria are not decolorized by the acid-alcohol, they are said to be acid-fast.
Most bacteria are non acid-fast. Acid-fast stain is especially used in TB
labs. Developed in 1882 by Paul Ehlrich.

Negative staining is useful for capsules. Endospores staining- heat is required to
drive a stain into endospores. Flagella staining requires a mordant to
make the flagella wide enough to see.
