Hi, I am doing a science project with bacteria and
I have another question. Are there any
circumstances besides temperature that will cause
a bacterium to change or lose its pigmentation?
Question Date: 2004-02-09
Answer 1:
Theoretically, yes; any stimulus
(temperature,acidity, nutrient availability, light
levels, etc.)can affect bacterial
pigmentation. It
would depend on the bacterium in question, though.
