Pigment production by Streptococcus agalactiae in quasi-defined media. Appl Environ Microbiol. 2001; 67(1):473-4http://hdl.handle.net/10668/2119Journal Article; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't;A quasi-defined medium that supports the growth of Streptococcus agalactiae as pigmented colonies has been developed. The medium contains starch, a peptic digest of albumin, amino acids, nucleosides, vitamins, and salts. The presence of free cysteine, which could be replaced with other sulphur-containing compounds and to a lesser degree by reducing agents, was required for pigment formation.enPigmentos biológicosMedios de cultivoInfecciones estreptocócicasStreptococcus agalactiaeTécnicas bacteriológicasMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Equipment and Supplies::Culture MediaMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Biological Factors::Pigments, BiologicalMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Bacterial Infections and Mycoses::Bacterial Infections::Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections::Streptococcal InfectionsMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Bacteria::Gram-Positive Bacteria::Gram-Positive Cocci::Streptococcaceae::Streptococcus::Streptococcus agalactiaeMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Clinical Laboratory Techniques::Microbiological Techniques::Bacteriological Techniquesresearch article11133484open access10.1128/AEM.67.1.473-474.20010099-2240PMC92604
