Microbial Pigments: Secondary Metabolites with Multifaceted Roles

Microbial Polymers, 2021
Pigments are compounds capable of absorbing light and are responsible for displaying a specific color. Several ores, insects, plants, microbes are the source of the natural pigments. However, microorganisms have enormous potential in producing pigments due to its stability, availability, productivity, easy downstream processing, and yield.

The distribution and drivers of microbial pigments in the cryoconite of four Tibetan glaciers

Environmental Microbiology, 2023
AbstractMicrobial pigments play a significant role in glacier albedo reduction, thereby contributing to accelerated glacier retreat. The Tibetan Plateau has experienced rapid glacier retreat in recent decades due to global warming, yet there is limited understanding of microbial pigment distribution in the region.

Monascus: a Reality on the Production and Application of Microbial Pigments

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2015
Monascus species can produce yellow, orange, and red pigments, depending on the employed cultivation conditions. They are classified as natural pigments and can be applied for coloration of meat, fishes, cheese, beer, and pates, besides their use in inks for printer and dyes for textile, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Current developments on the application of microbial carotenoids as an alternative to synthetic pigments

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2021
Microbial carotenoids have attracted rising interest from several industries as a sustainable alternative to substitute the synthetic ones. Traditionally, carotenoids available in the market are obtained by the chemical route using nonrenewable sources (petrochemicals), revealing the negative impact on the environment and consumers.

Characterization and Conversion of Microbial Pigments into Water Soluble Pigments for Application in Food Products

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, India Section B: Biological Sciences, 2013
Microbial colours with different shades like pink (Rhodotorula), red (Chromobacterium), yellow (Sarcina) and light yellow (Micrococcus) using apple pomace (a waste from apple juice) were produced by solid state fermentation, characterized and modified into water soluble pigments.
