The demand for natural colors is increasing day by day due to harmful effects of some synthetic dyes. Bacterial and fungal pigments provide a readily available alternative source of naturally derived pigments. In contrast to other natural pigments, they have enormous advantages including rapid growth, easy processing, and independence of weather conditions. Apart from colorant, bacterial and fungal pigments possess many biological properties such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer activity. This review outlines different types of pigments. It lists some bacterial and fungal pigments and current bacterial and fungal pigment status and challenges. It also focuses on possible fungal and bacterial pigment applications.
由于某些合成染料的有害影响，对天然色素的需求日益增加。细菌和真菌色素提供了一种易于获得的天然来源色素的替代来源。与其他天然色素相比，它们具有许多优势，包括生长迅速、易于加工以及不受天气条件影响。除了作为着色剂外，细菌和真菌色素还具有许多生物学特性，如抗氧化、抗菌和抗癌活性。本综述概述了不同类型的色素。它列出了一些细菌和真菌色素以及当前细菌和真菌色素的现状和挑战。它还重点介绍了细菌和真菌色素可能的应用。
