    May 2, 2024 · A colony of Escherichia coli [111] Unlike in multicellular organisms, increases in cell size ( cell growth) and reproduction by cell division are tightly linked in unicellular organisms. Bacteria grow to a fixed size and then reproduce through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. [112]

  5. Apr 20, 2024 · Gram-negative bacteria characteristically stain pink or red following the Gram reaction, owing to their thin cell walls; this is in contrast to Gram-positive bacteria, which stain purple, owing to their thick cell walls. In the process of Gram staining, a slide containing a heat-fixed smear of bacterial cells is treated with crystal-violet stain.
