Practice:

Results from a gram stain show that these bacteria are:

Practice: A scientists has a sample with two different species of bacteria. The first species is Staphylococcus aureus, a gram-positive bacterium. The second species is Escherichia coli, a gram-negative bacterium. The scientist gram-stains his sample of bacteria. What colors will the two species of bacteria be after staining?
