There is a lack of orange-red pigmentation in some of the growth on your agar slantl abeled S.marcescens. Does this necessarily indicate the presence of a contaminant?

No. The reason is, Chromogenic microorganisms may produce intracellular pigments that are responsible for the coloration of the organisms as seen in surface colonies. Other organisms produce extracellular soluble pigments that are excreted into the medium & that also produce a color. BUT........ most organisms, however, are nonchromogenic & will appear white to gray. ~jmata Microbiology 205 lab manual question. ~
