“…Many of the microbial mediated compounds not only show antimicrobial activities but also possess ecofriendly coloring agents that can be used in food processing, textile and cosmetic industries with high demand [41][42][43] . In the past there have been well documented reports about the production of bio-pigments, namely flavins, quinines, carotenoids and melanins, from various microbial origins 42,44 .…”

Pyocyanin is a blue green phenazine pigment produced in large quantities by active cultures ofPseudomonas aeruginosa, with advantageous applications in medicine, agriculture and for the environment. Hence, in the present study, a potent bacterium was isolated from agricultural soil and was identified morphologically and by 16S rRNA sequencing as P. aeruginosa (isolate KU_BIO2). When the influence of nutrient supplements in both King's A and Nutrient media as amended was investigated, an enhanced pyocyanin production of 2.56 µg ml −1 was achieved in King's A medium amended with soya bean followed by 1.702 µg ml −1 of pyocyanin from the nutrient medium amended with sweet potato. Purified pyocyanin was characterized by UV-Vis Spectrophotometer and Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Furthermore, Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrum (LCMS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) confirmed its mass value at 211 and as N-CH 3 protons resonating at 3.363 ppm as a singlet respectively. The isolated pyocyanin displayed remarkable dye property by inducing color change in cotton cloth from white to pink. Lastly, the antifungal activity of test pyocyanin showed inhibition of growth of rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea and bacterial blight of rice, Xanthomonas oryzae at concentrations of 150 and 200 ppm, respectively. Thus, this investigation provides evidence for diverse actions of pyocyanin which are nutrient dependent and are capable of acting on a large scale, by utilizing microbes existing in agriculture wastes, and thus could be used as an alternative source in the making of natural textile dyes with strong durability and a broad spectrum of ecofriendly agrochemicals.Microorganisms are biological agents which help to solve many problems related to health, agriculture and the environment 1-3 . Microorganisms have been the study at interest in recent years because of production of novel secondary metabolites 4 . These metabolites exhibit antimicrobial, antiviral or antitumor as well as anticoagulant properties, and the production of secondary metabolites may have evolved as an alternative strategy to switching off metabolic pathways by various control mechanisms 5-7 . Products of secondary metabolism, such as pigments, could also be of considerable selective advantage since they could eliminate possible microbial competitors 8 .Natural pigments have been obtained and used since long ago, but interest in them has decreased due to toxicity problems. Hence, pigments from microbial sources are good alternatives for various applications 9,10 . Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most commercially valuable organisms, many of which are responsible for producing soluble pigments like pyocyanin (blue), pyoveridin (yellow-green), pyorubin (red) and pyomelanin (brown) 11 . P. aeruginosa produces pyocyanin (N-methyl-1-hydroxyphenazine) which is a water soluble

Marine bacterial species contribute to a significant part of the oceanic population, which substantially produces biologically effectual moieties having various medical and industrial applications. The use of marine-derived bacterial pigments displays a snowballing effect in recent times, being natural, environmentally safe, and health beneficial compounds. Although isolating marine bacteria is a strenuous task, these are still a compelling subject for researchers, due to their promising avenues for numerous applications. Marine-derived bacterial pigments serve as valuable products in the food, pharmaceutical, textile, and cosmetic industries due to their beneficial attributes, including anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities. Biodegradability and higher environmental compatibility further strengthen the use of marine bio-pigments over artificially acquired colored molecules. Besides that, hazardous effects associated with the consumption of synthetic colors further substantiated the use of marine dyes as color additives in industries as well. This review sheds light on marine bacterial sources of pigmented compounds along with their industrial applicability and therapeutic insights based on the data available in the literature. It also encompasses the need for introducing bacterial bio-pigments in global pigment industry, highlighting their future potential, aiming to contribute to the worldwide economy.
