Biotechnological Activities and Applications of Bacterial Pigments Violacein and Prodigiosin
Abstract In this review, we discuss violacein and prodigiosin, two chromogenic bacterial secondary metabolites that have diverse biological activities. Although both compounds were “discovered” more than seven decades ago, interest into their biological applications has grown in the last two decades...
