Abstract

Glucose and galactose were the inhibitors of pigmentation of Serrratia marcescens. Other sugars, however, even the fructose which is the structural isomer of glucose and galactose did not affect to pigmentatioin. The yield of pigmentation was descreased when the glucose was added to culture medium. And it was known to that the antibiotics was roled as the inhibitors of pigmentation. The limit concentration of the inhibitors were as followings :rifampicin, $1{\mu}g/ml$. Addition of rifampicin$(1{\mu}g/ml)$ at 6 hrs cultures inhibited the formation of pigment completely.
