Pigmented strains of Yersinia intermedia isolated from water.
Two Yersinia intermedia strains isolated from water produced a nondiffusible blue-grey pigment. Pigment production was influenced by culture conditions: it was inhibited at 37 degrees C and by growth in anaerobiosis. Dissociation into non-pigmented clones occurred spontaneously. Pigment could not be extracted by organic solvents.
