Isolation and Elucidation of Bacterial Melanin's Sun Protection Factor (SPF) for Photoprotection in Cosmetics

The outline of our work delineates the isolation and evaluation sun screening activity melanin producers such as Pseudomonas mosselli STGRDS1, putida STGRDS3, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens STGRDV11, subtilis STGRDV5 cereus STGRDT12. All isolates were tested against fungal STGRDM1, which was used control throughout study. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) formulated creams containing 5% 10% determined with values ranging from 1.96 ± 0.008 to 26.33 0.061; further, transmission spectroscopy calculate percentage protection factor that stipulates potentiality pigments showing sunscreen effect.
