Abstract:At the present time there is no satisfactory procedure for estimating the degree of gram positivity although the need for a quantitative method is widely recognized. Recently Kennedy and Barbaro (1953) reported an accurate and reproducible method for determining quantitatively the adsorption of crytl violet by bacteria. In addition, the effect of the species and strain of the organism used, the method of killing the cells, and the time in contact with the dye on the quantitative adsorption of crystal violet … Show more
