Nuclear Staining of Filamentous Fungi

Nuclear Staining of Filamentous Fungi

Fungi are eukaryotic and contain well-organized nuclei. The fungal nucleus is membrane bound and consist of two membranes of characteristic pores, a nucleolus and chromatin strand that becomes organized into chromosome during nuclear division. The fungal nuclei are extremely minute, therefore study with the light microscope is very difficult. The cells of fungal hypae are … Read more

Cell Wall Staining by Dayr’s Method

Bacterial cell wall structure

The composition of cell wall varies from species to species, it has been reported that the main constituents of cell wall is chitin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. In addition, prokaryotic cell wall contains peptidoglycan (also known as murein and mucopeptide). Peptidoglycan is mainly composed of sugar, amino acids (peptide; amino acids + glycan; sugar).

Cell Membrane Staining Procedure, Principle, Result

BACTERIAL CELL MEMBRANE STAINING

The cell membrane is a biological membrane which also termed a plasma membrane (PM) or cytoplasmic membrane. It divides the interior of the cell from the outside environment, thus protects the cell from environmental stress. The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer, contains cholesterols between phospholipids which maintain their fluidity at various temperatures. The membrane … Read more
