Conclusion and Future Perspective
This review concludes that the bacterial pigments which are used in an
assortment of applications in the food, drug and textile industries. The
pigments from bacteria can play an indirect role in the conservation of
plant and animal resources by substituting pigment screening.
Researchers and the food sector are currently looking for natural
colouring substances that are derived from marine microorganisms due to
their ecological value. According to this review, pigments generated
from marine biofilm bacteria have been used in a wide range of
industries. In addition, the pigments could be used in the agricultural
production, fertiliser and seed dressing industries. The research
reports from pigments produced by marine bacteria are very scanty
compared to terrestrial bacteria. Overall, this review of marine
bioactive pigments and their pharmaceutical uses reveals the
significance of identifying fresh marine bacterial compounds. Such
substances have a wide range of physiologically active properties and
keep offering promising opportunitiesĀ both for fundamental scientific
research and biomedical study. Future studies should focus on
determining the simplest method for collecting microbial pigments in
order to expand their industrial applications. Accordingly, it is
necessary to take into account a number of operational parameters that
could cause a disparity due to the development and alteration of a new
process by using inexpensive agricultural waste as a substrate in the
future to identify high quality production of pigments. Future research
should focus on a variety of methods that could lower manufacturing
costs and boost yields for pigments on a broad scale
