Why colony of agrobacterium is pink on yeast extract agar media?

The pink color of Agrobacterium colonies on yeast extract agar media is due to the production of a pigment called violacein. The presence of violacein is a characteristic feature of Agrobacterium species and contributes to the pink color of the colonies. This pigment production can help to differentiate Agrobacterium from other bacteria on culture plates.
