Abstract: Background: Prodigiosin produced by Serratia marcescens is a promising drug owing to its reported characteristics of having antifungal, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative activity. From an industrial point of view the necessity to obtain a suitable medium to simultaneously enhance the growth of Serratia marcescens and the pigment production was the aim of this work. The usage of individual fatty acid as substrate in industries would be cost-effective in the long run and this paved the way for us to try th… Show more

“…However, at 37°C S. marcescens did not produce any pigment in nutrient broth and the culture broth was white in colour. In case of the powdered peanut broth pigment production was observed, even at 37°C, which was equal quantitatively to the amount produced in nutrient broth at 30°C (Giri et al 2004). The pigment production was enhanced in sesame seed broth even in the absence of any sugars, Glucose and maltose in powdered sesame seed medium inhibited the prodigiosin production at both 28 and 30°C.…”

“…isolated from marine sediments which was later used as a clothing dye. The production of prodigiosin by Serratia marcescens is dependent on temperature and is significantly reduced at temperatures higher than 37˚C (Giri et al, 2004) optimized the growth of Serratia using a variety of media and they observed that a novel peanut seed broth resulted in significant enhancement of prodigiosin production. Prodigiosin possesses antibacterial, antifungal (Gulani et al, 2012), antiprotozoal (Croft et al, 2003), cytotoxic (Nakashima et al, 2005) antitumor (Pérez-Tomás et al 2003;Chang et al 2011), antimalarial (Isaka et al 2002;Patil et al, 2011) and anti-cancerous properties (Ho et al, 2009).…”

“…The biosynthesis of prodigiosin by pigmented strain of Serratia marcescens under aerobic conditions in the batch culture is realized. The pigment production is highly variable among species Serratia and it depends on many factors such as the specific strain, the temperature, the incubation time, the illumination, the pH medium and others [2,5,12]. The illumination conditions (light/darkness) affected both the biosynthesis of prodigiosin and energetic metabolism of the pigmented strain ATCC 9986 Serratia marcescens were shown [8].…”
