| Résumé : |
Pigment Prodigiosin is red maroon in colour and has a pyrrye dipyrryl methene structure. It is water insoluble and occurs membrane bound in the cells of Serratia marcescens, which is gram negative bacterium. As the parent strain of Serratia marcescens NRRL B284 was found to be unstable in its pigment synthesising ability, an attempt was therefore made to derive UV stable mutants employing UV induced mutagenesis. Out of seven mutants derived, a lone mutant designed M2 was found to be most promising both in terms of stable pigment producing characters as well as faster growth rates in select synthetic medium compared to the rest of the mutants. Studies on mutant M2 constitue optimisation of Carbon:Nitrogen ratio in the synthetic medium selected, followed by studies on feeding salts of trace cations during cell cultivation (as nutrient modifiers) to explore further (if any), scope for improving the UV stability of the pigment synthesised. The role/contribution towards UV stability by trace cations e.g. Mo++, Ti++, Fe++, Ni++, Co++ and Zn++ were investigated. Select UV stable pigments were evaluated for their performance in two types of air drying paints, with intersting results with respect to colour and gloss retention |
