Violacein Pigment
Introduction
The Violacein pigment is produced from L-tryptophan via a pathway involving four enzymes, vioA-D. This scheme is shown below:

Osbourne, Sequence Analysis and Functional Characterization of the Violacein Biosynthetic Pathway from Chromobacterium violaceum, J. Mol. Microbiol. Biotechnol. (2000) 2(4): 513-519. [1]
Further, as module 5 is Aqua, controlling VioA, VioB, VioC, and VioD allows us to generate two different pigments, aqua and violet.
