“…In this context, metabolomic was an important tool used in a work that successfully studied an enhanced production of lutein carotenoid by the Chlorella saccharophila strain in co-cultivation with a novel Exiguobacterium sp. [157]. In this work, metabolomics permitted authors to identify metabolites from microalgae and bacteria cultures alone and together, in addition to observing more than 40 metabolites unique when in co-culture.…”

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.
