In these steps, a monopyrrole and a bipyrrole undergo a condensation reaction by way of an enzyme to form prodigiosin.
2.
The biochemical pathway for the production of prodigiosin by " S . marcescens " is unknown except for the final two steps.
3.
Due to this, and because " S . marcescens " produces a reddish-orange tripyrrole pigment called prodigiosin, it may cause staining of the teeth.
4.
""'Streptomyces griseoviridis " "'is a filamentous bacterium species from the genus of " Streptomyces " which has been isolated from soil in Texas in the United States . " Streptomyces griseoviridis " produces etamycin, griseoviridin, bactobolin, prodigiosin R1 and rosophilin . " Streptomyces griseoviridis " inhibits the growth of fungal pathogens and can be used to protect plants from those.
