Streptomyces zaomycetitus strain GH90: a source of violet pigment with metabolic profiling and potential application in textile: in vitro supported by in silico studies and molecular docking.

ABSTRACT: Dyes are used daily in the culinary, textile, paper, leather, and agricultural sectors. Synthetic colors pollute the environment and have harmful effects. Microorganism-produced pigments are more cost-effective and environmentally benign than animal, plant, and synthetic pigments. The present study focuses on isolating a pigment-producing actinomycete, a novel violet pigment produced by a local isolate strain identified as S. zaomycetitus GH90, using 16 S rRNA from Egyptian soil. Optimizing violet pigment yield necessitated the precise adjustment of various growth parameters. Streptomyces zaomyceticus GH90 achieved optimal production under specific conditions. pH 8.0, agitation at 180 rpm, temperature at 37 °C, 1.5% starch concentration, ammonium sulfate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 2%
