In recent years, the Utilization of natural pigments in food product, dyes, cosmetics, & pharmaceutical manufacturing processes has increased exotically. In order to fulfill the increasing demands for natural sources pigment producing microorganisms has been exploited at the industrial level. Natural sources like plants and microorganisms are used for the pigment production process. Pigment extraction from the plant will be somehow difficult and expensive as compared to the pigment extraction from the microorganisms. Microorganisms uses various cheap sources for growth and it make it easy to grow them on controlled condition and production of pigments in larger amount. Pigments are produced by growing microbes on solid nutrient agar medium and then it is purified by using centrifugation and filtration form the microorganisms and then isolation of pigments using various solvents. In our study various water, fruit, soil samples are collected from different areas of valsad Gujrat. From which we had isolated various pigment producing microorganisms of This paper will describe about various bacterial pigments and its application.
