What is Bacterial Pigments: An Untapped Colorful Microbial World about?

Microbes are serving as the precious sources of diverse molecules used in the discovery of various drugs. Among them are the microbial pigmentscolored metabolite produced by microbes like bacteria, fungi, algae, and actinomycetes. Microbial pigments are preferred over all the other sources for its simple culturing methods using cost-effective substrates, easy pigment extraction procedures, and mass production. Bacterial pigments are nontoxic, biodegradable, noncarcinogenic, safe for human use, and have a diverse range of applications in food industries, textile, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Identification of new microbial sources, utilization of low-cost substrates, and optimization of process parameters are the areas under focus toward economical pigment production.
