Nonstaining (KOH) method for determination of gram reactions of marine bacteria

Nonstaining (KOH) method for determination of gram reactions of marine bacteria

J D Buck. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1982 Oct.

Abstract

A rapid nonstaining (KOH) method for the determination of the Gram reactions of bacteria is described, and its application to marine isolates is discussed. All gram-positive and gram-negative results obtained by Gram staining were confirmed by the KOH method. Gram-variable bacteria produced equivocal results.
