Pseudomonas Pigments Biosynthesis Functions and Industrial Applications
Pseudomonas species are well known for producing a wide range of
biologically active pigments with important ecological and industrial
significance. These pigments include pyocyanin, pyoverdine, pyorubin,
and pyomelanin, which are classified as secondary metabolites. Pigment
biosynthesis in Pseudomonas is tightly regulated by genetic pathways
such as phenazine and non‐ribosomal peptide synthetase systems.
Functionally, these pigments contribute to iron acquisition, antimicrobial
