AbstractNegative staining is one of the many staining techniques that can be employed for viewing of bacterial cell morphology and size. The advantages of the negative stain include the use of only one stain and the absence of heat fixation of the sample. Negative staining employs the use of an acidic stain and, due to repulsion between the negative charges of the stain and the bacterial surface, the dye will not penetrate the cell. In negative staining, the results yield a clear cell with a dark background. Curr. Protoc. Microbiol. 15:A.3F.1‐A.3F.5. © 2009 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

From this paper's citation signal
Citation Network Contribution
0.276
From 9 citing papers with measurable signal
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 57% comes from its base citations and 43% from the citation network (9 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
