You need to determine if a pure culture of bacteria is Gram-positive or Gram-negative, but you've just spilled your only solution of crystal violet so you can't do a Gram stain. You decide to try a lysozyme treatment on a sample of each culture and then examine the samples under the microscope. The expected result is:. A. Gram-positives will be unaffected; Gram-negatives will lyse and appear as debris.
B. Gram-positives will be unaffected: Gram-negatives will lose their flagella
C. Gram-positives will lyse and appears as debris: Gram-negatives would also lyse and appear as debris.
D. Gram-positives will lyse and appears as debris: Gram-negatives would have a weakened cell envelope but not lyse.
