Prodiginines

The prodiginines are a family of red tripyrrole pigments produced by Gammaproteobacteria as well as select Actinobacteria (e.g. Streptomyces coelicolor). It is named after prodigiosin (prodiginine). They are synthesized through a common set of enzymes. They are interesting due to their immunosuppressive and anti-cancer activities.[1]

gollark: No.
gollark: Oh, right, so you need to put that there and run it unconditionally.
gollark: Someone bodging together a PHP program.
gollark: Oh well. PHP.
gollark: Put all the add-stuff-to-session stuff into the `else` so it'll be run if there is no session.
