“…Additionally, the pigments extracted have been reported to be useful in the dyeing industry (Conlon et al, 2004;Meng-Xi et al, 2021;Ramesh et al, 2020;Abraham, & Chauhan, 2018;El-Naggar, & El-Ewasy, 2017;Manikkam et al, 2015;Karuppiah et al, 2013;Stankovic et al, 2012;Vijayabharathi et al, 2011;Amal et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2006;Locci, 1989). Furthermore, crude pigment extracts of actinobacteria have been used as dyes for silk, cotton, and wool (Janković et al, 2023;Kramar, & Kostic, 2022;Chen et al, 2021;Urtgam, & Thurnkul, 2021;Kulkarni et al, 2014;Chakraborty et al, 2015). Actinobacterial dyes used in the textile industry are advantageous due to their safety and eco-friendliness, given that these dyes are naturally occurring in living organisms, especially actinobacteria, making them an appealing alternative to dyes derived from plants, animals, minerals, and fungi (Suomi, 2001;Velmurugan et al, 2010).…”
