- Abstract
The article focuses on a study which reports the presence of pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs) bacteria on the leaves of various vegetables grown in farms. It mentions the formation of pink pigmented colonies for vegetable leaves which were tested for PPFMs on agar plates containing methanol as sole carbon source. The herb Perilla frutescens viridis reportedly gave highest counts of presence of PPFMs bacteria which accounts for presence of 15 percent of microbes on its leaves.
