Antimicrobial and anti-biofilm effects of carotenoid pigment extracted from Rhodotorula glutinis strain on food-borne bacteria.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Carotenoid pigments are among the most important pigments and have many applications in various food, cosmetics, hygiene industries and biotechnology. These pigments are produced by plants and microorganisms including Rhodotorula spp. This research intended to study the antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of the carotenoid pigment from Rhodotorula glutinis on food spoilage bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhimurium).

Materials and methods

The R. glutinis was isolated from milk samples of cows with mastitis and ITS sequence-based typing was performed on them. After extracting the pigment from R. glutinis, its purity was examined using thin-layer chromatography. Following that, the broth micr
