The red pigment of Vibrio psychroerythrus (formerly marine psychrophile NRC 1004) was identified as prodigiosin by comparison of its mass spectrum, absorption spectrum in the visible range, and chromatographic behavior with prodigiosin isolated from Serratia marcescens. The properties of the V. psychroerythrus pigment were clearly distinguishable from five other prodigiosin-like compounds isolated from three different microorganisms.
通过比较嗜冷赤杆菌(以前的海洋嗜冷菌NRC 1004)红色色素的质谱、可见光谱范围内的吸收光谱以及其色谱行为与从粘质沙雷氏菌中分离得到的灵菌红素,确定该色素为灵菌红素。嗜冷赤杆菌色素的性质与从三种不同微生物中分离得到的其他五种类灵菌红素化合物明显不同。
