Prodigiosin found in Serratia marcescens y2 initiates phototoxicity in the cytomembrane
Background: Light can be absorbed by bacterial pigment and affects its growth. Prodigiosin is a red pigment found in various bacterial species. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of light on prodigiosin production, biomass formation, and membrane integrity of Serratia marcescen...

Prodigiosin is a red pigment found in various bacterial species. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of light on prodigiosin production, biomass formation, and membrane integrity of Serratia marcescens y2.

The pigment leakage ratio from cells was detected more in light than in darkness conditions.

A higher concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) was detected in light-treated culture than in darkness.
