 Staining characteristics of some bacteria.

 

Please help me. I'm having trouble exactly figuring this.

**Bacterial Characteristics Overview**

This table provides a comparison of various bacterial species based on several characteristics. The columns include details on cell shape, main cell arrangement, oxygen requirements, Gram reaction, acid fast reaction, and endospore production. 

1. **Bacterium**: The name of the bacterial species.
2. **Cell shape**: The general shape of the bacterial cells (e.g., bacillus, cocci).
3. **Main cell arrangement**: Describes how the cells are typically organized (e.g., singles, chains).
4. **O2 requirements**: The oxygen requirements for bacterial growth (e.g., aerobic, anaerobic, facultative anaerobe).
5. **Gram reaction**: The Gram stain response, indicating whether the bacteria are Gram-positive or Gram-negative.
6. **Acid fast reaction**: Indicates whether the bacteria are acid-fast, retaining color when stained with an acid-fast stain.
7. **Endospore producer?**: Indicates if the bacterium is capable of producing endospores.

### Detailed Entries:

- **Proteus vulgaris**
  - Cell shape: Bacillus
  - Main cell arrangement: Singles
  - O2 requirements: Facultative anaerobe
  - Gram reaction: Negative
  - Acid fast reaction: Negative
  - Endospore producer?: No

Other bacterial species listed, such as *Escherichia coli*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Micrococcus luteus*, *Bacillus subtilis*, and *Mycobacterium phlei*, are yet to be filled in with their corresponding details.
