Abstract

DURING a recent morphological study of Penicillium herquei, we became interested in the curious change in pigmentation induced by variation of the substrate, a phenomenon which had been reported by Bainier and Sartory1 when the fungus was described in 1912. These workers observed that a yellow pigment was formed on potato, banana, carrot and Raulin's medium; on a medium rich in peptone the pigment was a beautiful blue. Apparently no attempt was made at chemical characterization.
