2. Any observable motility
3. Gram status (positive or negative)

Question 3
pts
While observing an unknown sample of limited amounts, a researcher must determine the
following observations: (1) the presence of any motility and (2) its Gram status using the
same sample—the liquid sample cannot be divided. Which would you determine first and
why?
Your Answer:
I would determine the presence of motility first because with motility, youre using a wet
mount. With determining gram status, you're heat fixing the sample. If I were to start with
gram staining first, the heat would kill the organism and I wouldnt be able to determine the
presence of any motility
