Abstract

Gram staining is one of the important steps to identify bacteria. This type of staining uses synthetic substances safranin and violet crystals which can result in environmental pollution. Rosella flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa) contain natural dyestuffs, namely anthocyanins that have the potential to color bacterial cells. This study aims to find out whether rosella flower methanol extract (Hibiscus sabdariffa) can be used as a substitute for alternative dyestuffs in Gram staining. This study is an experimental study with a descriptive approach that uses three repetitions. The results showed that rosella flower extract (Hibiscus sabdariffa) cannot be used as an alternative to natural dyes for staining bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella Pneumonia and E. coli. The bacterial cell wall has a complex layer so it requires a special type of dye to be able to penetrate it. Different materials need to be carried out so that they can be used as alternative dyes in gram staining.
