The skin of a larva is mottled with black, brown, and yellow pigmentation.

Smooth and glistening colonies with yellow or orange pigmentation (1-2mm in diameter).

They have olive backs with yellow and white pigmentation and blue, green, and purple iridescence.

Physically, it is a rod-shaped organism with yellow pigmentation.

Colonies are 1-2 mm in diameter, sometimes showing yellow pigmentation when grown at ambient temperature.

Rather the action of all these mutations is to reduce the yellow pigmentation, either entirely or to some degree, with respect to the wild-type Light Green.

In this pigmentation schemes, Asian women are encouraged to measure the degree of their yellow pigmentation!

In low light conditions, caps may not develop the yellow pigmentation, resulting in salmon to rosy buff colors.
