Materials and Methods Bacterial strains and growth. Bacterial strains are listed in Table I.
Bacteria were grown in LB broth (Bertani 1951), supplemented with antibiotics when …

Nonpigmented bacteria obtained by growth of Serratia marcescens at 38 C synthesized
prodigiosin at 25 C if certain individual amino acids were added to cultures of …

In a study of the control of metabolite formation, prodigiosin production by Serratia
marcescens was used as a model. Specific production rates of prodigiosin formation were …

Amino acids that were utilized as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen for growth of Serratia
marcescens Nima resulted in biosynthesis of prodigiosin in non-proliferating bacteria …

Methods Different proteins obtained after culturing S. marcecens JNB5-1 at 28 degrees C
and 37 degrees C were separated and identified through two-dimensional gel …

ABSTRACT A marine bacterium, Hahella chejuensis, recently has attracted attention due to
its lytic activity against a red-tide dinoflagellate. The algicidal function originates from its red …

The present study was designed to investigate the possibility of exploiting the interspecies
interaction of microbial cells in order to enhance the production of prodigiosin by local …

Abstract Background Prodigiosin produced by Serratia marcescens is a promising drug
owing to its reported characteristics of having antifungal, immunosuppressive and …

Prodigiosin is a natural red pigment derived primarily from secondary metabolites of
microorganisms, especially Serratia marcescens. It can also be chemically synthesized …

Serratia marcescens and several other bacteria produce the red-colored pigment
prodigiosin which possesses bioactivities as an antimicrobial, anticancer, and …
