Answer #1

It is a Gram staining slide. Given image shows Gram negative bacteria. Morphology is Short rods I.e bacilli.

Gram staining used to initial identification and characterization of bacteria and some time fungi also. By this method we can determine bacteria either Gram positive or Gram negative. Gram's nature depends upon composition of cell wall of bacteria

If cell wall contain about 95% peptidoglycan and remaining muramic acid, they are Gram positive. And they appear violet colored on Gram staining.

If cell wall contain 30- 40 % peptidoglycan and remaining lipopolysaccharide , the bacteria are Gram negative. They appear in pink color after Gram staining.
