An agrobacterium is a soil bacterium which causes the formation of crown galls in plants.
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.

transfer of gene with the help of Ti plasmid present in Agrobacterium which has T-dna region by which gene van transfer.
The hormone that directly activates the vir gene in Agrobacterium Ti plasmid is acetosyringone. It induces the expression of the vir genes, triggering the transfer of T-DNA from Agrobacterium to plant cells.

No, Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a bacterium, not a fungus. It is a soil-dwelling bacterium that is known for its ability to transfer DNA between itself and plants, causing the formation of plant tumors.
An agroinfiltration is the introduction of a suspension of agrobacterium into a plant to add a specific gene.
ends of plasmid of agrobacterium.
Around 6 hours in AB medium with Arabinose.
The Ti plasmid is naturally found in the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This bacterium is known for its ability to transfer genetic material into plant cells, causing the formation of galls or tumors.
