Answer Posted / Anjula
Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet dye after decolorization with alcohol or acetone, while gram-negative bacteria do not. Gram-positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer and no outer membrane, while gram-negatives have a thin peptidoglycan layer and an additional outer membrane. This difference in cell wall structure affects their staining properties, antibiotic susceptibility, and other biological characteristics.
