Hans Christian Gram, a Danish bacteriologist, developed the Gram staining technique in 1884. It is commonly used to differentiate bacteria into two groups based on their cell wall characteristics.
Crystal violet agar is a selective medium used for isolating and differentiating gram-positive bacteria from mixed cultures. The crystal violet dye inhibits the growth of gram-negative bacteria, allowing the gram-positive bacteria to grow and form distinct colonies. This agar can be useful in differentiating bacteria in clinical samples or environmental samples.
Recombinant DNA technology
Specimens for anaerobic bacteria culture should be transported in an anaerobic transport system or container to maintain an oxygen-free environment. The specimens should be kept at room temperature and transported quickly to the lab to prevent the growth of aerobic bacteria. It is important to follow proper packaging and labeling guidelines to ensure the integrity of the specimen during transport.

Many specimens are tested there. As the name says microbiology is where they research micro-species, like bacteria, or amoebas. The tests usually look for specific resistance or reactions to drugs. Of course there are many other research types.
