Formation of iodinin by a strain of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grown on elemental sulfur.
The presence of the pigment iodinin, an Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans culture metabolite, was demonstrated after growth of bacteria on elemental sulfur. The structure of iodinin was confirmed by X-ray structure analysis; its physiological role is discussed.
