Spray-dried Prodigiosin from Serratia marcescens As A colorant
Encapsulation technique via spray drying can be employed to enhance the natural pigment’s properties. In this study, spray-dried microparticles containing red pigment (prodigiosin) extracted from Serratia marcescens was produced using κcarrageenan and maltodextrin as encapsulation agents. The effect of spray-drying parameters on the encapsulation yield (EY), particle size and color intensity of...
متن کاملA study of the association of prodigiosin, isolated from Serratia marcescens.
The spectral characteristics of prodigiosin in the visual range and the changes occurring in them through different concentration of the substance, polarity of solvent, and temperature have been studied. The conclusion has been reached that these changes are due to the existence of two forms of the pigment: monomeric — with a maximum at 460 m/x, and dimeric — with a maximum at 530 m/u. It is as...
متن کاملReview of Prodigiosin, Pigmentation in Serratia marcescens
Prodigiosins, a family of natural red pigments characterized by a common pyrrolylpyrromethane skeleton, are produced by various bacteria that first characterized from Serratia marcescens. This pigment is a promising drug owing to its reported characteristics of having antifungal, immunosuppressive and anti-proliferative activity. From an industrial point of view to obtain optimal conditions to ...
متن کاملChitinases from Serratia marcescens
Serratia marcescens is one of the most effective bacteria for degradation of chitin, a 1,4-β-linked polymer of N-acetyl-β-Dglucosamine (GlcNAc). Chitinolysis by S. marcescens involves at least four enzymes and a chitin-binding protein. Studies of the enzymology and the structures of the enzymes provide insight in how a natural set of chitinolytic enzymes may be built up. S. marcescens chitinase...
متن کاملOptimization of prodigiosin production by Serratia marcescens using crude glycerol and enhancing production using gamma radiation
Prodigiosin is a red pigment produced by Serratia marcescens. Prodigiosin is regarded as a promising drug owing to its reported characteristics of possessing anti-microbial, anti-cancer, and immunosuppressive activity. A factorial design was applied to generate a set of 32 experimental combinations to study the optimal conditions for pigment production using crude glycerol obtained from local b...
