Chromatographic separation of the pigment fractions from a Serratia marcescens strain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A procedure was developed for the separation of pigment fractions in a wild-type Serratia marcescens strain. Separation was achieved by column chromatography and elution with several organic solvents. At least six pigment fractions were obtained from the alumina columns by this technique, whereas only four fractions had been reported previously. Spectral and elemental analyses indicate that, in S. marcescens, prodigiosin is a complex of six fractions, differing in absorption spectra while retaining the general characteristics of the whole pigment.

متن کاملFactors influencing pigment production in a mutant strain of Serratia marcescens.
A high frequency of mutations affecting color production is characteristic of the HY strain of Serratia marcescens. After ultraviolet irradiation, mutants ranging from white, through pink and orange, to deep red shades darker than the wild type can be obtained (Labrum and Bunting, 1953). Many of the white and pink mutants emit diffusible substances which can be utilized by other color mutants g...
متن کاملDetection of pigment precursors in white clinical strains of Serratia marcescens.
Filter paper strips containing a pigment precursor extracted from Serratia marcescens strain 933 were used to determine whether white, clinical S. marcescens strains could form pigment syntrophically. In all, 114 strains (113 of clinical origin) were tested, and 99% were found to develop colors ranging from violets to pinks.
متن کاملBiodegradation of malathion by serratia marcescens isolated from Arvandkenar region, Iran
The global use of pesticides has resulted in the contamination of various ecosystems worldwide. The impact of these pesticides can be reduced through bioremediation. The factors that influence the biodegradation rate include the isolation of efficient bacteria for use in remediation and the determination of optimal biodegradation conditions. In this study, malathion degrading bacteria were isol...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Serratia marcescens U36365, a Green Pigment–Producing Strain Isolated from a Patient with Urinary Tract Infection
Serratia marcescens is an emerging nosocomial pathogen associated with urinary and respiratory tract infections. In this study, we determined the genome of a green pigment-producing clinical strain, U36365, isolated from a hospital in Southern India. De novo assembly of PacBio long-read sequencing indicates that the U36365 genome consists of a chromosome of 5.12 Mbps and no plasmids.
