Carotenoids in Yellow-Pigmented Enterococci

Richard F Taylor 1, Miyoshi Ikawa 1, William Chesbro 1
PMCID: PMC248451  PMID: 5541541

Abstract

Pigments extracted from three strains of yellow enterococci showed the spectral and solvent partition characteristics of carotenoids. An unusual C32 carotenoid aldehyde appears to predominate.
