Pigments from various sources such as annatto seeds, cochineal, beet root, and microalgae are widely used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, textile and other industries. However, these sources of pigments have various limitations such as toxicity and environmental pollution of synthetic pigments, and low productivity of pigments from higher organisms due to long period of growth. The objective of this study was to screen for pigment producing fungi to overcome some of the above limitations. A pigment producing fungus was isolated from soil sample collected from cassava processing site and was identified as Talaromyces purpurogenus based on the colony morphology and characteristics, microscopic observation of the conidia and conidiophores and analysis of the gene sequence of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the rDNA. The nucleotide sequence was deposited in Genbank (DDBJ/ EMBL) and was assigned the accession number LC128689. Pigment production by the isolate in solid state cultures using PDA as substrate in Petri dishes was investigated. The optima culture conditions were pour plating method with agar overlay (4 mm thick) and sealed edges, inoculum spore concentration of 2×10 8 spores/Petri dish and incubation in dark at 30°C. Under these culture conditions, the red, orange and yellow pigments produced were 11.2, 7.3 and 8.21 unit optical densities per gram of wet agar respectively after 96 h of cultivation. The isolate has good potential for production of different shades of pigments for various applications.

Four local fungal isolates were used in this study to produce pigments using some agro-industrial wastes via solid state fermentation. The maximum production of pigments by Talaromyces purpureogenus (MT232241.1) was obtained when broken wheat was used as a substrate, after 9 days of incubation , at 25°C , 60% moisture content, 3ml of spore suspension as inoculum , pH5and under dark light condition. In case of Fusarium oxysporum (KU671032.1) the highest level of pigments obtained by using broken rice, after 12days of incubation , at 30°c , 60% moisture content, 3ml of spore suspension as inoculum , pH and under dark light By using 3ml of spore suspension as inoculum of Aspergillus penicillioides (MT594382.1) the maximum pigment production was achieved with broken wheat as a substrate after 12days of incubation , at 25°C, 60% moisture content, pH6 and under red light condition. By using the corn cobs as a substrate, the fungal Trichoderma lixii (MW805725) showed high pigment production after 12days of incubation, at 30°C, pH6, when the moisture content was 60%, 4ml of spore suspension was used as inoculum, and under dark light condition.

“…After incubation, the intracellular and extracellular pigments contained in the fermented material were extracted with 70% ethanol in an incubator with agitation at 150 rpm for 24h, followed by centrifugation and filtration. After filtration, the material was lyophilized and weighed (General et al, 2014).…”

Global demand for natural pigments and dyes has increased much in recent years, driven by a heightened awareness of the toxic effects of various synthetic dyes on pollution of the environment and health human. The pigments and colorants obtained through plants and microbes are the primary source exploited by modern industries. Among the other non-conventional sources, filamentous fungi particularly are known to produce an extraordinary range of colors including several chemical classes of pigments such as melanins, azaphilones, flavins, phenazines, and quinines. The objective of this work was to evaluate the production of pigments produced by Talaromyces spp. and its antimicrobial activity. In this context, strains of the fungi Talaromyces spp. were isolated from soil of biome Caatinga and showed production of dark red, red and yellow pigments. Almost all fungi were able to grow and produce soluble pigments in the solid medium containing different carbon sources (sucrose, fructose, glucose, maltose, and starch), as well as in different salinity concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4% and 6%), kept at room temperature (28ºC). All the extracted pigments showed antimicrobial activity against to bacteria Gram negative, as well as to yeasts, evidencing the high potential of application in the textile industry to produce antimicrobial fabrics.
