Extracellular Accumulation of Pyrroles in Bacterial Cultures

RESUMO
Aerobacter aerogenes, Paracolobactrum aerogenoides, Spirillum serpens, and gelatinous strains of Chromobacterium violaceum produced an extracellular, ether-soluble, Ehrlich-positive substance when grown in media prepared with gelatin hydrolysate. The substance has been tentatively identified as pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid. Both hydroxy-l-proline and allo-d-hydroxyproline have been shown to be precursors of the material. Gelatinous strains of Chromobacterium violaceum, but not the other positive cultures, produced two ether-insoluble pyrroles as well, the precursors of which occur in gelatin hydrolysate but have not yet been identified. The property of pyrrole formation in bacteria and its possible use as an aid in identification of bacteria was discussed.
