Which statement accurately describes a staining technique used in microbiology?
a. Gram Stain uses crystal violet, iodine, alcohol, and safranin dyes to differentiate between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria based on cell wall structure.
b. Acid Fast Stain uses carbol fuchsin and methylene blue dyes to identify Mycobacterium species, which have a waxy cell wall that retains the stain even after acid alcohol treatment.
c. Endospore Stain uses malachite green and safranin dyes to distinguish endospores, which are resistant structures formed by certain bacteria, from the vegetative cells.
d. Gram Stain and Acid Fast Stain dye the cell wall, while Endospore Stain dyes the endospore structure specifically.
