Microbial Pigments-A Short Review
Color is the main feature of any food item as it enhances the appeal and acceptability of food. In the recent years, coloring of food with pigments produced from natural sources is of worldwide interest and is gaining importance. Several types of dyes are available in the market as colouring agents to food commodities but biocolorants are now gaining ...

Biosynthesis and Genetic Tuning of Guanine Crystals via Metabolic Engineering of Yeast
We demonstrate how yeast cells can be harnessed as cellular factories for the synthesis of optically functional guanine crystals, where genetic editing is used to tune crystal size, order and optical properties. This demonstrates a powerful new biosynthetic approach for the development of sustainable and biocompatible optical pigments, which utilizes ...
