Gram staining is possibly the single most important differential stain used to distinguish between different types of bacteria based on their chemical and physical properties. In this video, Biology Professor (Twitter: @DrWhitneyHolden) will cover the Gram stain procedure and discuss how it is applied to determine what type of bacterium is causing a given disease. Great for MCAT Biology Review! For more information on the structural differences between Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Cell Walls, see Biology Professor's video: • Gram Positive and Gram... For more information on another type of differential stain, the Acid-Fast stain, see Biology Professor's video: • Acid-Fast Stain
Watching all your videos on bacteria the night before my lab test, Thank You a bunch 🙏
explained better in 5 minutes than my 2 hour lab lol THANK YOUUUU
RIGHT!
She explains this really clear!
Burnt out teacher who might have been motivated during one point in his/her life. Everyone has seen those. It's always refreshing seeing motivated teachers.
Better explained than all my days at Pathology block posting 👌🏾
Thanks :)
Thank you for such a short concise explanation! It really simplified Gram staining for me
it was really very helpful, for the first time I completely understood gram staining, thanks a lot 😃😃
Amazing explanation, really well laid out too! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much... You just summarised my 2 hours lab session in 5 minutes.. That too bet efficiently... Thank you
Thank you sooo much for a very clear explanation about gram stain! :)
the best biology professor on youtube ! thank you
ma'am thank you very very much... this was the most helpful vdo for me in 2018... keep making these cool stuff.. coz only we the students know how it feels when we dont understand anything...cramming remains the sole option but it is disastrous in the long term...
2 minutes ago i was getting frustated but i am so happy and calm ☺😏
Thank you for this!!!! Awesome job explaining clearly what’s going on
Thanks🌹
Awsome explanation very much better than our college faculties

ohhhhhhhhhh now i get it! Thank you sososososososososososososo much!!
thank you professor ur video is informative n ur so sweet!!
Thank you, very helpful!!
thankio for this lecture beacause i know completly for gram staining
Thank you so much this was so simple to understand
Thanks ! I appreciate you helped me big time before taking my exam tomorrow !!
Good luck on your exam! If you need to review Gram Positive vs Gram Negative bacteria cell walls before your exam, check out my video on that topic: ruclips.net/video/hIj2c8fZWlM/видео.html
Thank you very much ma'am for this beautiful lecture.
perfect explanation. easy to follow. thank you

Thank you doctor. You are a real life saviour before my practical examination
I hope you do very well and get a great grade!
Yup. It went smooth 😀
Good job 👏🏻
good helpful lecture......and next time plz mechanism explain
thank you!!!
Wow thanks!
very interesting!!!
my microbiology teacher is the worse. I understood this well, way better than in class. I over stained my bacteria because he was no help. thank you
Thank you so so much verey helpful
Thank u so much 😍❤
Ur the best!
very good
thank you
thank you so much mam
Ty
Thank you mam
It's a nice explanation mam
Thank you 😊
You are literally the best u know ...... I just love your videos ..... U explain concepts clearly and 5-6 minutes ...... And trust me u clear the whole concept in one go..... ❤️❤️
Thank you so much 😀 I definitely work hard to keep things clear, concise, and interesting. :)
Great vid
Thanks!
nice, simple explanation. don't forget to underline 'Clostridium difficile'
Thank you madam
Thankz
MAM
FIRST WE TAKE A SLIDE
THEN WRITE N AND S ON BOTH SIDE
THEN USE NORMAL SALINE AND SOLLEN DUE TO AIR
THEN USE TO HIT
THEN USE CRYSTAL VIOLET THEN USE IODINE AND SAFRINE
good 👍
Thanks mam😍😘😘😘
Wow awesome
Thank you!
god bless you
Thank you for the informative explanation. Could you please explain in the last foto why are the bacteria aggregated in certain areas on the slide? was that only random distribution or there is a certain reason for that?
Thanks
+zaid alhajaj It is a random distribution created when the bacteria were smeared across the slide and fixed to it for staining.
this is what i needed for my flow diagram always that lab assistance will ask us flow diagram before we do the practicals and am sure tomorrow i will be on the good books of heres thaaaaaaaaaank you and maybe i will score some point to my partner besides shez my crush
Ma'am very good
Ma'am what is your professional field
I mean ...which field of biology
If you accidentally used saffrinin instead of crystal violet but then did all the rest of the steps would they all just look pink? Or does the thick cell wall only bind to the crystal violet?
they would all look pink
How you reached the whiteboard top to write the heading...(Gram staining procedure)
May be you just used a stool or chair
We wash slide after each step, right??
Generally yes
Nice explanation love from Pakistan
Thanks for watching :)
Such a good break down. One question though, what is the purpose of the counterstain?
To help see the non Gram positive bacteria better.
It is to see the gram NEGATIVE bacteria better. Since they won’t retain the crystal violet following destaining, you need a counter stain to make them visible.
You have nice voice😍😘😘
What will happen if you used the decolorizing solution first instead of the primary stain?
If you swap the order, the decolorizing solution won’t remove the crystal violet from the Gram-negative cells, and the saffranin will not be visible. All cells (Gram-pos and Gram-neg) will be purple.
so if I was asked that which is the gram stain should I say crystal violet or saffranin?
Technically, BOTH are required because it is a differential stain...one is used to show Gram-positive bacteria and one is used to show Gram-negative bacteria. If you want to get picky, you might be able to argue that the crystal violet is the main stain and the safranin is just the counter stain.
What happens if you forget the mordant or decolorizer for gram positive and gram negative?
It you forget the mordant, the crystal violet dye won’t stick during the decolorization and everything will end up pink from the safranin. If you forget the decolorizer, everything will end up purple because the crystal violet will be retained in both cell types.
is there an automated gram staining apparatus?
Good question. I’ve never seen one, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, perhaps in some really high tech lab somewhere.
shouldn't cocci(circle shaped) be the violet one, while the bacilli (rod shaped) be the pink one?
No. The cells in my video are generic examples. You are thinking of E. coli as a pink bacillus and S. aureus as a purple coccus because these are common examples. But there are many Gram-negative (pink) cocci like species of Neisseria (diplococcus) and Haemophilus (coccobacillus). And there are many Gram-positive (purple) bacilli like species of Listeria and Clostridium (both rods). In other words, cocci and bacilli can stain either color, depending on the species.
❤️
Whats the purpose of decolorizing in gram stain
Decolorizing is practically the most important step (obviously, all are necessary) because the decolorizing step is where you get the differences between cell types. After the crystal violet and iodine, ALL cells are purple. The alcohol decolorizing solution removes the purple from Gram-negative cells, but not Gram-positive cells (unless it’s on too long). Then saffranin is used as the counter stain to make the Gram-negative cells visible so you can see them under a microscope. The saffranin would not show up on the Gram-negative cells if they were still purple because you had skipped decolorizing.

👍👍
Your smart
Thank you :)
what is a mordant
a substance, typically an inorganic oxide, that combines with a dye or stain and thereby fixes it in a material.
Cute, Knows way more bacteria scientific name than me, likes to tutor, and her hair is perfect, well.. I'm in love :|
are you still in love
😃
and she's so pretty😍🥰...
The name Safranin really sounds blue-purple because of sapphire blue stone. And the crystal violet just sounds like some pink illicit pills. So, this thing is really messing up our brain.
I did my gram stain wrong 😔💔 oh Jesus
better luck next time... ;)
Your voice is very down. And your videos are helpful. Please try to raise you tone next time. Thank you
is the channel free
Yes, you can watch all my biology and chemistry videos for free! :)
Ur are so lovely
no YOU're lovely
You're so awesome and gorgeous
will you marry me?
stop lying ussssssssssss//////
...?
