Some strains of S marcescens are capable of producing a pigment called prodigiosin, which ranges in color from dark red to pale pink, depending on the age of the colonies.
Vascular Tissue: the xylem and phloem in leaves are confined to vascular bundles or veins. Veins are surrounded by a layer of cells call the bundle sheath. The bundle sheath can be composed of parenchyma, colenchyma, or fibers.
A vein is an elastic blood vessel that transports blood from various regions of the body to the heart. Veins can be categorized into four main types: pulmonary, systemic, superficial, and deep veins.Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.Systemic veins return deoxygenated blood from the rest of the body to the right atrium of the heart. Superficial veins are located close to the surface of the skin and are not located near a corresponding artery.Deep veins are located deep within muscle tissue and are typically located near a corresponding artery with the same name (for example coronary arteries and veins). vein can range in size from 1 millimeter to 1-1.5 centimeters in diameter. The smallest veins in the body are called venules. They receive blood from the arteries via the arterioles and capillaries.
