グラム染色
Endospore Staining is a technique used in bacteriology to identify the presence of endospores in a bacterial sample, which can be useful for classifying bacteria. Within bacteria, endospores are protective structures used to survive extreme conditions, but this protective nature makes them difficult to stain using normal techniques such as simple staining and Gram staining. Special techniques for endospore staining include the Schaeffer–Fulton stain and the Moeller stain.
