Would it be acceptable procedure for you to substitute the Gram stain decolorizer for the acid-alcohol decolorizer used in Acid Fast Stain? No because acid-alcohol would decolorize both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and, thus, it would not be possible to differentiate between them No because the decolorizer from the Acid Fast Stain might dissolve the bacteria Yes, because they both use alcohol No because the acid would dehydrate the Gram-positive cell wall Yes, because they are both decolorizers
