Chromobacteria produces violacein after threshold density of quorum sensing has reached. When protozoa ingest two to three Chromobacteria, the protozoal cell dies.After some more time the protozoal cell lyses. So, it can be said that Chromobacteria has developed violacein as a defence system against protozoa.
