Part Description
LP31265-9 Malachite green stain
Malachite green is a triarylmethane dye often used to directly stain bacterial endospore with safranin as the counterstain (Schaeffer-Fulton method). Endospores are difficult to stain because they have a keratin covering that is resistant to heat, UV radiation and chemicals. Endospore forming bacteria that are of medical significance include some species of Bacillus and Clostridium. Clostridium perfringens, C. botulinum and C. tetani are the causative agents of gas gangrene, botulism and tetanus, respectively. Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus are the causative agents of anthrax and a self-limiting food poisoning, respectively.
