Bacterium cultured to high quantities in nutrient-rich broth is found to appear metallic-green. When a large inoculum of this bacterium is transferred to nutrient-rich agar and incubated, the culture also appears metallic-green. However, upon further investigation this colour was absent when a small number of colonies was cultured on agar. What regulatory process could have accounted for this occurrence. Briefly describe the process, stating key molecule(s) and interactions that are crucial to metallic-green appearance of the bacterial colonies. Name process, give description.
