A novel bacterium, Massilia sp. BS-1, producing violacein and deoxyviolacein was isolated from a soil sample collected from Akita Prefecture, Japan. The 16S ribosomal DNA of strain BS-1 displayed 93% homology with its nearest violacein-producing neighbor, Janthinobacterium lividum. Strain BS-1 grew well in a synthetic medium, but required both L-tryptophan and a small amount of L-histidine to produce violacein.
从日本秋田县采集的土壤样本中分离出一种新型细菌——马赛菌属BS-1，它能产生紫罗碱和脱氧紫罗碱。菌株BS-1的16S核糖体DNA与其最近的产紫罗碱邻菌——青紫色杆菌的同源性为93%。菌株BS-1在合成培养基中生长良好，但产生紫罗碱需要L-色氨酸和少量L-组氨酸。
