  • Bacterial Endospore stain procedure. This protocol is taken from "Benson's Microbiological Applications: Laboratory Manual in General Microbiology" Eleventh Edition
    1. Cover the bacteria smear with a piece of paper towel and saturate it with malachite green. Steam it over boiling water for 5 minutes and add more stain as it boils off.
    2. Allow the slide to cool, remove the piece of paper towel and rinse for 30 seconds.
    3. Counterstain with safranin for about 20 seconds.
    4. Rinse briefly with water to remove safranin
    5. Blot dry and view under the microscope in immersion oil.

    Thank you for the nice video showing the protocol. I have a small question.
    Towards the end, after the staining, do you use a cover glass before adding immersion oil and investigating the sample under the microscope? Or do you directly apply the immersion oil to the stained sample on the microscope glass and use it for microscopy?

  • @souporfreaky

    You mention in this video that the spores are resilient to many things, radiation among them; but recalling back to your UV light on E. Coli demonstration, would these spores also be resistant to the effects of UV, or would the light still manage to form the thymine dimers as I think you called them? Assuming it can't survive, I wonder if there's any species that could live and reproduce under constant high-level UV exposure.

    Hey mate. Your videos are great, but anyway I'd like to suggest you to try using more ambient/silent songs. Viewing you doing those procedures is a somewhat relaxing experience but the agitated background songs often contrast with that feeling. Also, sometimes they just take your attention, because they sound interesting. That's all I have to suggest. For instance this nice jazzy guitar solo often snapped me out of the legends lol.

    Hi! Do you make the smears from the 48-hour broth culture or from colony on agar plate? I did this using a 48 hour bacillus subtilis culture on agar plate but I couldn't see any spores. Does it only work for cultures grown in broth?

    • @sci-inspi
      @sci-inspi  ปีที่แล้ว

      Both both and agar work. Spores form in order to survive harsh conditions. So older cultures have more spores (I make some cultures 48 hours to a week old). Dehydration and low and high temps can also induce sporulation.
