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

Applied and Environmental Microbiology · 1982 · Vol. 44(4) · pp. 992–993

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.
