 note = {The pigmented bacteria distributed in the Kinko bay were Pseudomonas, Corynebacterium,
Flavobacterium, Micrococcus and Alteromonas spp. Among them, Pseudomonas and Corynebacterium
spp. were predominant. Purple bacteria belonged to the genus Alteromonas. As the mouth of
the bay, Pseudomonas was predominant, but at the innermost station Corynebactrium predominated.
The pigment in these bacteria, except for strains of Alteromonas was found to be a carotenoid
by means of spectrophotometric assessment of absorbance and Carr-Price reaction. One of
the pigmented Corynebacterium, C-2 strain produced carotenoid pigment upon supplementation
of a dialyzable constituent of yeast extract to a basal medium.
The pigment of Alteromonas strains was violacein. Alteromonas B, C, and D strains produced
their purple pigment in a histidine or aspartic acid medium prepared as a sole source of nitrogen. Supplementation of tryptophan inhibited their growth and pigment production.},
