Abstract

It is highly challenging to identify any unknown bacterium through microscopic examination, which is the inital step. Since there are no colour contrasts between the cells and the background when the cells are seen under a microscope because they are so small and semitransparent, the staining technique is crucial to bacteriological research since it allows researchers to see the smallest details. The LPCB is the mounting medium used for the traditional approach to fungal staining, and in the blue phenomenon, the other staining also has the property to stain fungal hyphae as a coloring agent used for general procedure, the dye, stain, or mounting medium. The following study discusses the use of pomegranate powder pulp as a natural coloring ingredient in glycerol composition to tint fungi with quality activity.

Keywords

Pomegranate pulp powder, mounting media, fungal strain, lacto phenol, cotton blue.
