Objectives: The study was aimed at isolating and identifying violacein-producing bacteria from the different ecosystems. Methods:The violet color pigment (violacein) producing bacteria was isolated and identified morphologically and genomically.Results: A total of ten bacterial Chromobacterium sp. were isolated from different sources such as soil and water. The violacein productivity was screened by the total isolates and the selected two strains were identified as Chromobacterium violaceum CV4 and Chromobacterium vaccinii CV5 by morphologically and genomically. Conclusion:In the present study, the two isolate was morphologically and genomically identified as Chromobacterium violaceum CV4 and Chromobacterium vaccinii CV5, last one was found to be the novel strain from natural sources which possess a high violacein producing capability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
