Lipopolysaccharide found in gram-positive bacteria

b)

Peptidoglycan in gram-negative bacteria is thicker than in gram-positive bacteria

green

e)

brown

6.

The function of Lugol's reagent in Gram staining is:

9.

The correct reagents for Gram staining, based on the sequence of procedures, are:
