Pigment production by marine Serratia sp. BTWJ8

The marine microorganisms are yet to be exploited as a source of natural pigments for probable utilization in various industries. Hence, in this study focus was made only on pigment producing marine bacteria for pigment production and evaluation of the same for some application besides development of an ideal bioprocess for subsequent indigenous production of the pigment using the same organism towards ultimate industrial application.
