Formation of iodinin by a strain of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grown on elemental sulphur

The presence of the pigment iodinin, an Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans culture metabolite, was demonstrated after growth of bacteria on elemental sulphur. The structure of iodinin was confirmed by X-ray structure analysis; its physiological role is discussed.
