This is a short answer question that can be answered in one or two sentences. Look at the photomicrograph (total magnification =1000X). Dr. Wellington Yueh did a simple stain on a sample of Escherichia coli from his plate culture using crystal violet.  After looking at his entire smear on the slide, the photo shown below is all that he could see under microscopy.  As his lab technician, explain how Dr. Yueh could improve preparing a new sample for simple staining so that he can observe the bacteria’s morphology.  

In the human body,  where can you find an acidic pH?    (pH of 1-2)

If someone has a fever, (increased overall body temperature)  which is least susceptible to denaturation?
