,Definition 4 of 260
-High boiling point (100 C) Hydrogen bonding raises the boiling point
-Temperature Buffer
-Excellent Solvent (because of polar nature). Water dissolves hydrophilic molecules, but no
good interactions with hydrophobic.

1)Apply the primary stain--Crystal Violet
-Turns all the cells purple
2)Apply a mordant--Iodine
-Combines with the stain
3)Apply decolorizer--Alcohol
-Removes dye from Gram-Negative but not Gram Positive, turning:
-Gram Positive: Purple
-Gram Negative: Transparent
4) Apply a counterstain--Safranin
-Turns:
-Gram Positive: blue-purple
-Gram Negative: Reddish/pink
