Dyes to Stain Bacteria

Here are some dyes and some information

Note that DAPI can be used, but I'm not sure if it can be cultured
afterward

Perhaps mCherry or SYTO BC (stains nucleic acids) could be used.

Perhaps Qdots could be used

thiazole orange may be able to be used

FDG may be used. However, this necessitates cell permeabilization. Note
that in this paper they also encapsulate single cells in agarose
microbeads 20 to 30 microns in diameter

they do single cell genomic studies in this paper
