The Endospore staining test was performed for a bacteria, all the standard protocol was performed but
the researcher realized that there is no safranin dye in the lab. The researcher still continue to perform
the procedure and observed the slides under microscope. What possible results can be observed?
Please justify your answer.

Calculate the how much quantity of chemicals and solvents are required for the prepare given volume of
