Enhanced production of prodigiosin by Serratia marcescens FZSF02 in the form of pigment pellets

Background: Prodigiosin has been demonstrated to be an important candidate in investigating anticancer drugs and in many other applications in recent years. However, industrial production of prodigiosin has not been achieved. In this study, we found a prodigiosin-producing strain, Serratia marcescens FZS...

Pseudohemoptisis por Serratia Marcescens
Pseudohemoptisis by Serratia Marcescens

Rev. am. med. respir; 19 (2), 2019
Se denomina hemoptisis a la expulsión de sangre procedente del árbol traqueobronquial, es por ello que siempre habrá que descartar sangrado de cavidad oral, nasofaringe y tracto digestivo. De esta forma, la expectoración de sangre de una fuente que no es el tracto respiratorio inferior se denomina ps...

Using prodigiosin against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and Trypanosoma cruzi

This work aimed to explore the action of natural prodigiosin on both bacterial organisms and Trypanosoma cruzi cells. Methods: Natural prodigiosin pigment was extracted and purified from cultures of Serratia marcescens. Two media, peanut broth and peptone glycerol broth, both recommended in the literatu...

Effect of prodigiosin on the alleviation of the intestinal inflammation of weaned rats based on 1H-NMR spectroscopy study and biochemistry indexes

Weaning results in intestinal dysfunction, mucosal atrophy, transient anorexia, and intestinal barrier defects. In this study, the effect of prodigiosin (PG) on the intestinal inflammation of weaned rats was investigated by using 1H-NMR spectroscopy and biochemistry indexes to regulate the intestinal met...

Prodigiosin found in Serratia marcescens y2 initiates phototoxicity in the cytomembrane

Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (4), 2013
Background: Light can be absorbed by bacterial pigment and affects its growth. Prodigiosin is a red pigment found in various bacterial species. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of light on prodigiosin production, biomass formation, and membrane integrity of Serratia marcescens y2....
