Prodigiosene [5-(2-pyrryl)-2,21-dipyrrylmethene] and some substituted prodigiosenes

Spore-forming Serratia marcescens subsp. sakuensis subsp. nov., isolated from a domestic wastewater treatment tank

“…However, the DNA G+C content, production of red pigment and biochemical characteristics of the bacterium were not in agreement with those of the genus Bacillus, but instead resembled the characteristics of the genus Serratia. The genus Serratia belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae, and some members of this genus produce pigments identified as prodigiosin (Hearn et al, 1970;Gerber, 1975). Some members of the genus Serratia also have clinical importance (Grimont & Grimont, 1992;Brenner, 1984).…”

Serratia nematodiphila sp. nov., associated symbiotically with the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditidoides chongmingensis (Rhabditida: Rhabditidae)

“…Some members of the genus Serratia have clinical importance (Grimont & Grimont, 1992;Brenner, 1984) and other members produce pigments identified as prodigiosin (Hearn et al, 1970;Gerber, 1975). A subspecies of Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens subsp.…”

A novel biological approach on extracellular synthesis and characterization of semiconductor zinc sulfide nanoparticles

“…S. nematodiphila belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae of the class Gammaproteobacteria. Some types of the Serratia contain clinical importance (Grimont et al 1988) and the other group of genus produce pigments identified as prodigiosin (Hearn et al 1970;Zhang et al 2009). The biosynthetic route using S. nematodiphila (CAA) has been developed for the zinc sulfide nanoparticle production and was used in this work.…”
