Spray-dried Prodigiosin from Serratia marcescens As A colorant
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the prodigiosin microcapsules were studied. The most intense color was obtained at a 1:1 ratio (volume ratio of prodigiosin in ethyl acetate to κ-carrageenan solution) with a 200oC inlet temperature, a feed flow rate of 60 m3/h, a pressure of 1.5 bars and a feed rate of 3 mL/min. The characterization of spray-dried prodigiosin using FTIR and FESEM confirmed that the particles were properly coated with encapsulating agents and pigment morphology showed that the particles were regular shaped spheres. The results suggest that the spray-dried prodigiosin can be useful as a colorant under the above optimum operating conditions.

Application of prodigiosin as a colorant for polyolefines
Serratia marcescens strain 9986 is a producer of prodigiosin used as a dye of polyolefines (polyethylene, ultratene). The biosynthesis of pigment was closely connected with controlled growth parameters. A prodigiosin yield 0.2 0.4 mg per l of culture medium in the batch culture under aerobic conditions was obtained. Prodigiosin was extracted from crude biomass treated by 0.1% of sodium dodecyl ...

This work addresses the production of prodigiosin from ram horn peptone (RHP) using MO-1, a local isolate in submerged culture. First, a novel gram-negative and rod-shaped bacterial strain, MO-1, was isolated from the body of the grasshopper (Poecilemon tauricola Ramme 1951), which was collected from pesticide-contaminated fields. Sequence analysis of 16S rDNA classified the microbe as Serratia...
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 ...

A new strain of Serratia marcescens UCP1459 isolated from a semi-arid soil produced the natural red pigment prodigiosin, characterized by an uncommon pyrrolylpyrromethane skeleton. Prodigiosin is a promising drug due to its reported antifungal, immunosuppressive and anti-proliferative activities. The objective of this work was to indentify a suitable medium to simultaneously enhance S. marcesce...
