“…Another recent work also showed the stability and extended shelf-life of Monascus sp. pigments with nanoparticles of zein-lecithin [212]. From a different point of view, both micro and nanoparticle chitosan-based delivery systems of prodigiosin (S. marcescens) were prepared with promising results in-vitro and in-vivo assays in the animal system [213].…”

Microbial pigments have many structures and functions with excellent characteristics, such as being biodegradable, non-toxic, and ecologically friendly, constituting an important source of pigments. Industrial production presents a bottleneck in production cost that restricts large-scale commercialization. However, microbial pigments are progressively gaining popularity because of their health advantages. The development of metabolic engineering and cost reduction of the bioprocess using industry by-products opened possibilities for cost and quality improvements in all production phases. We are thus addressing several points related to microbial pigments, including the major classes and structures found, the advantages of use, the biotechnological applications in different industrial sectors, their characteristics, and their impacts on the environment and society.
