King’s Medium A Base, Granulated 500G

Kings Medium A, Granulated is recommended for non-selective isolation, cultivation and pigment production of Pseudomonas species. It is particularly suited for the production of pyocyanin and pyorubin. Pigments and/ or their derivatives produced by Pseudomonas species play a role as siderophores in the iron uptake systems of bacteria, and hence, their production is markedly enhanced under conditions of iron deficiency. Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces blue-green pigment, pyocyanin.
