Abstract
Intensity of bacterial flagella staining using a modified silver stain was increased by aging the mordant for one week at room temperature. The use of aged mordant increased the apparent diameters of stained fl agella and resulted in a darker stain. The mordant remained stable for at least four months at room temperature. The staining protocol prese nted allows application to liquid or solid cultures.
