Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus cereus stained with the LIVE/DEAD BacLight Bacterial Viability Kit (Cat. No. L7012). When incubated with the SYTO 9 stain and the propidium iodide nucleic acid stain provided in this kit, live bacteria with intact cell membranes fluoresce green and dead bacteria with compromised membranes fluoresce red.
