| GMO | No |
| Taxon name | Chromobacterium violaceum |
| Preservation method | Lyophilised |
| Other catalogue information | Nutrient Agar 1% Tryptone instead of Peptone |
| Price band | A |
| Media | 203 |
| Gas regime | aerobic |
| Growth factors (and/or information) | Both purple and white colonies present. Maintain on Bennetts/Casein/Ey to enhance pigment ratio. Loses pigment on subculturing on nutrient agar |
| ACDP category | 1 |
| Additional hazard information | Although presently classed as ACDP group 1, this organism is recognised as an opportunist pathogen, particularly of immunocompromised patients, and should be handled with care. |

| Depositor Company | Goa University |
| Depositor Address | Microbiology Department Taleigao plateau Goa India 403203 |
| Source | Waste waters from an effluent treatment plant of a fibre glass factory in Goa |
| Isolated by | Ms Sheila DSouza |
| History | The culture is a gram negative bacillus producing a violet pigment with an absorbance maxima at 568 nm. Loses pigment producing ability on frequent subculturing |
| Yeast? | False |
| K12 | No |
| References | This culture has been isolated for the first time from the waste water treatment plant of a fibre glass factory known as Binani glass, in a place called Tivim, which is in Goa, India. |
