Staining of Wool by Bacterial Pigments

Abstract

STAINING of the fleece by bacterial pigments has been described1, and a number of colours have been attributed to a variety of organisms. Recent investigations on the staining of Corriedale fleeces during periods of wet weather have shown that several stains similar to some of those described in previous work can be caused by the oxidation or reduction products of the pigment pyocyanine, produced by a single species Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Schroeter) Migula.
