**Quiz Question: Understanding Bacterial Pigments and Gram Staining**

**Question:**
How can natural pigments produced by bacteria reveal their Gram stain reaction?

**Options:**
- (Selected) Natural pigments can only show that a bacterium is gram positive.
- Natural pigments cannot reveal a bacterium's Gram stain reaction.
- Natural pigments can only show that a bacterium is gram negative.
- Natural pigments can show that a bacterium is gram positive or gram negative.

**Explanation:**
This question is designed to test your understanding of the relationship between bacterial pigments and the Gram staining process. Gram staining is a common technique used in microbiology to classify bacteria into two groups based on the structural differences in their cell walls: Gram-positive and Gram-negative. Your selection implies that specific pigments produced by bacteria are indicative of a Gram-positive reaction.
