     of phenol.] (Chem., Physiol. Chem.)
     A white, crystalline substance, {C8H7N}, obtained from blue
     indigo, and almost all indigo derivatives, by a process of
     reduction; chemically, it is 2,3-benzopyrrole, a bicyclic
     heterocyclic compound, having a benzene ring fused to a


     pyrrole ring. It is also formed from proteinaceous matter,
     together with skatol, by putrefaction, and by fusion with
     caustic potash, and is present in human excrement, as well as
     in the intestinal canal of some herbivora. It is produced in
     rich growth media by the intestinal bacterium {Escherichia
     coli}.
