SUMMARY Mycobacterium tuberculosis (B.C.G.) produces pigments when exposed to isoniazid under aerobic conditions. The experimental conditions for production and separation of some of these compounds arc described. Ultra‐violet absorption spectra are shown. One compound was examined in more detail and some of its chemical characteristics are described.
