The chemical structure of prodigiosin has been unveiled.Serratia are capable of thriving in diverse environments, including water, soil, and the digestive tracts of various animals.S marcescens has a predilection for growth on starchy foodstuffs, where the pigmented colonies are easily mistaken for drops of blood.
In the gastrointestinal tract, the submucosa is the layer of dense irregular connective tissue or loose connective tissue that supports the mucosa, as well as joins the mucosa to the bulk of overlying smooth muscle (fibers running circularly within layer of longitudinal muscle).n the gastrointestinal tract, the submucosa is the layer of dense irregular connective tissue or loose connective tissue that supports the mucosa, as well as joins the mucosa to the bulk of overlying smooth muscle (fibers running circularly within layer of longitudinal muscle).
The mucosa serves to line the cavity of the tract. The mucosa consists of three sub-layers called the epithelium, the lamina propria, and the muscularis mucosae. In most of the digestive tract, the cells in the epithelium are shaped like columns.his mucus lubricates the digestive tract. The lamina propia is a sub-layer that is made of loose connective tissue. The muscularis mucosae is a sub-layer of smooth muscle. The next layer after the mucosa is called the submucosa. This layer is a thick layer of loose connective tissue.
