Then, I worked with bacteria form dialy life stuffs, smartphone and doorknob. The result is interesting, because they produced a different form even I cultivated them with the same medium. The bacteria from smartphone formed tiny yellow dots, which is quite the same as a yellow bacteria form Kombucha, while the bacteria from door knob formed diffuse white dots all over the medium's surface. | Then, I worked with bacteria form dialy life stuffs, smartphone and doorknob.

So, I searched for the information about different types of bacteria due to its color, then found out that the yellow/orange bacteria is probably called Staphylococcus Citreus and the white is probably called Staphylococcus Epidermidis, however, I'm not so sure since I just only compared my bacteria with the example shown example on the website. | |||
In bacteria, pigment formation is associated with morphological characteristics, cellular activities, pathogenesis, protection and survival. | |||
Pigments are produced by bacteria to absorb UV radiation or to quench oxygen free radicals. In both the cases bacterial pigment play important role of the cell protection. Some bacterial pigments are antibiotics which are active against phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, and yeasts; also active against human pathogenic Gram positive or negative bacteria and fungi. | |||
