Janthinobacterium is a genus of Gram-negative soil bacteria. The name is from Latin janthinus, which means "violet" or "violet-blue". It produces distinct purple-violet pigments among which are jagaricin and violacein, manifests diverse energy metabolism abilities, and tolerates cold, ultraviolet radiation, and other environmental stressors.
