promote pigment production of P. fluorescens

33
Q

this medium promotes pigment production of P. fluorescens

34
Q

the absorbance we expect from the fluorescence in KMBA

35
Q

the fluorescence of P. fluorescens on KMBA was due to

A

Q

what will happen to P. fluorescens if inoculated to KMBA with low iron content

A

will fluoresce

37
Q

purpose of utilization of YDCA in this exercise

65
Q

conditions when microbial pigments are synthesized

A
  • bacterial species are grown in appropriate growth conditions - metabolism of bacteria is impaired or under stressful conditions
66
Q

important roles of microbial pigments

A

-aid in survival and adaptation (mimic the environment) -shield against UV rad and photooxidative damage -provide antibacterial and antifungal properties -prevent colonization -contribute to photosynthesis and assist in cellular energy production
