Microbe can be grown in pure culture
If Microbe is introduced into being then being becomes sick

| Steps of Gram Staining (Positive) |
|
Definition
1.Add crystal Violet to Cells which stains the cell reversibly
2.Add iodine, a mordant that bonds CV to gram positive cells.
3.Wash with ethanol
4. Add counter stain and the cell remains dark purple |
