Shubhangi A. Rajguru*, Manisha Gude, Shilpa Valmiki and Dr. Padma V. Deshmukh
ABSTRACT In the decade of stringent guidelines put forth by FDA in manufacture of consumer goods, microbial pigments, owing to its nature of colour, nutritive value & medicinal Properties; very aptly has provided an alternative over its chemical counterparts. Natural Habitats viz soil, water will always remain a never-ending source of micro-organisms; with huge potential in many sectors. In the present study, isolation of pigment providing bacterial isolates from fresh & marine water habitats was carried out. Identification was carried out as mentioned in Bergey’s manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 9th Edition. Extraction and Optimization studies of growth conditions for maximum pigment production are carried out. Keywords: FDA, Microbial pigments, Natural Habitats, Bergey’s manual.
