چکیده
Many artificial synthetic colorants, which have widely been used in foodstuff, dyestuff, cosmetic and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, comprise various hazardous effects. To counter act the ill effect of synthetic colorants, there is worldwide interest in process of development for the production of pigments from natural sources. The utilization of natural pigments in foodstuff, dyestuff, cosmetic and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes has been increasing in recent years thanks to the knowledge about the harmful effects of synthetic pigments and their industrial byproducts on humans and the environment (Unagul et al., 2005; Chidambaram and Lakshmanaperumalsamy, 2009).

Serratia rubidaea isolated from a silastic foam dressing.
A pigment-producing strain of Serratia rubidaea was isolated from two consecutive cultures from a sponge of silastic foam used as a dressing for chronic crural ulcers. The bacterium caused a red discolouration of the sponge and the surrounding part of the leg. The silastic sponge creates a new type of environment for microorganisms. The growth of previously rare bacteria such as S. rubidaea may...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Melanin Producing Pseudomonas stutzeri Strain UIS2 in the Presence of l-tyrosine and Survey of Biological Properties of Its Melanin
Background: Melanin is a negative charge hydrophobic complex pigment. Melanin is produced naturally in bacteria to protect them against UV, free radicals and environmental stresses. Pigment production in bacteria has more advantages than other biosources due to its rapid growth, higher efficiency and easier extraction. The aim of this study was the isolation, biochemical and molecular identific...

Bacteria produce pigments for various reasons and it plays an important role. Some bacteria such as cyanobacteria have phycobilin pigments to carry out photosynthesis. Other example for pigment-producing bacterial strains includes Serratia marcescens that produces prodigiosin, Streptomyces coelicolor (prodigiosin and actinorhodin), Chromobacterium violaceum (violacein) and Thialkalivibrio versu...
