Gram’s crystal violet solution, also known as gentian violet or hexamethyl pararosaniline, is a basic, cationic, acidotropic aminoarylmethane dye. It is a hexa-N-methylated triaminotriphenylmethane with a moderately sized lipophilic cation and a slightly nonplanar conjugated system. It is used in bacteriology as the primary stain in Gram staining to differentiate Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is known to possess antibacterial and antifungal properties.
- Crystal violet is routinely used for Gram staining and its variants, staining amyloid, bacterial components, and vascular plant tissues
- It is used in polychrome staining of epoxy resin sections, viability staining of cultured neurons, and confocal optical sectioning to analyse meiotic structures
- It is also employed in the acridine orange-crystal violet staining of intracellular bacteria, microsporidian spores, and cytological smears
The antimicrobial effects of crystal violet are caused by free radical generation and the formation of unionised dye-bacteria complexes. It also inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and cell wall formation and is especially effective against Gram-positive bacteria.
