ACTIVITY NO.4

Identification of Microorganisms

As they exist in nature, most bacteria are colorless, transparent, and difficult to see.
Therefore, various staining methods have been devised to enable scientists to examine
bacteria. Microorganisms are transparent or semitransparent hence difficult to see in
unstained state due to very little contrast obtained between their cells and surrounding
medium. When they are stained is increased as the become opaque and contrast
between them and surrounding medium remains transparent. The result is that they
become visible,
