Abstract excerpt
Pyocyanin can be detected in the cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using UV and IR spectroscopy of disturbed complete inner reflection (DCIR). Intact cells of the parent strain liberating the pigment into the cultural broth and mutant cells lacking the ability contain pyocyanin within the cells. Occasionally, pyocyanin can be detected in the outer layers of the cells, which is more typical of the parent strain. In...
