Pigment production by a newly isolated strain Pycnoporus sanguineus SYBC-L7 in solid-state fermentation.

ABSTRACT: Natural pigments are playing important roles in our daily lives. They not only make products colorful but also provide various health benefits for humans. In addition, Pycnoporus genus, listed as food- and cosmetic-grade microorganism, is one of the promising organisms for developing natural pigments. In this study, a new fungal strain with high efficiency in producing intense orange pigments was isolated and identified as Pycnoporus sanguineus SYBC-L7. Different agro-industrial wastes were applied to evaluate the growth and pigment production of strain SYBC-L7. SYBC-L7 can grow rapidly and effectively produce pigments using wood chips as substrate in solid-state fermentation (SSF). Culture conditions were also optimized for value-added pigments production and the optimum pro
