Abstract
AbstractNowadays, pigments from microbial sources have gained much importance due to its substantial medical and industrial welfares. In this regard, the present book chapter discusses some impactful methodologies regarding the improved production of prodigiosin drug—a promising supplement of synthetic colour. Prodigiosin is a vivid red colour pigment mainly synthesized by bacteria Serratia marcescens. Other than its significant contribution towards the cosmetic and food industry, it also poses antifungal, antibacterial, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative activities. Optimization of media components, scale-up study and biokinetic analysis from wild type and recombinant sources have been thoroughly discussed in this chapter. Particular emphasis was put forward on its nanotechnological synthesis and drug delivery for various diseases. Efficient extraction practice, estimation by different analytical instruments and purification of the final product were also highlighted in a best possible way.KeywordsProdigiosinBioengineeringOptimization Serratia marcescens Enhance
