Serratia marcescens produces a red pigment called prodigiosin, which is temperature-dependent. At 25°C, the conditions are favorable for the synthesis of this pigment, resulting in the characteristic pink coloration. However, at 35°C, the expression of the genes responsible for prodigiosin production is reduced, leading to the organism appearing white or colorless. This temperature sensitivity highlights the influence of environmental conditions on microbial physiology.

Why doesn't serratia marcescens produce pigmented colonies at 37 degrees Celsius?

Serratia marcescens produces the red pigment prodigiosin at lower temperatures (e.g. 25°C), but not at higher temperatures like 37°C. This may be due to the regulation of genes involved in prodigiosin production being influenced by temperature, leading to decreased pigment production at 37°C.

How is pigment production in s marcescens controlled by temperature?

S. marcescens can grow at 5 c to 40 c. but when the temperature gets below 30 c. a blood red pigment begins to show on anything the S. marcescens is on. S. marcescens is a facultative anaerobe meaning they can live with or without oxygen.
