Ethanol Extraction of Microbial Pigments for Polyester Fabric

The Micrococcus Luteus is a Gram-positive bacterium. Gram-positive bacteria are said to be bacteria with thicker cell walls, and the thinner cell walls are said to be gram-negative. The micrococcus luteus is present in the natural flora of the mammalian body in soil, dust, water and air. It is also found in the human mouth, mucosa, osopharynx, and upper airways. In these two colonies the agar plate produces bright yellow pigments. Carotenoid in the key which contains bright yellow colour. M.luteus pigment having the highest variety of anti-carcinogenic and immune modulation properties. Anti-carcinogenic (an agent whose cancer cells are killed or prevented) The yellow pigment showed promising antioxidant, antibacterial, and UV-protective activity. Results which clearly indicate the potential application of these pigments in food and pharmaceutical cosmetics in industries following clinical evaluations as natural coloring agents and UV protection agents..M.luteus was shown to be healthy. The filament made of the coarse pigment. This dye absorbs UV rays and is used with a sunscreen in cosmetics. This is a type of vitamin used in natural colours. The polyester fabric was used in this study. The polyester content is in general far less absorbent. Nevertheless the color pigment was extracted using M.luteus ethanol, which even for polyester fabrics shows very good promising color.
