Pigments are produced by bacteria to absorb UV radiation or to quench oxygen free radicals. In both the cases bacterial pigment play important role of the cell protection. Some bacterial pigments are antibiotics which are active against phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, and yeasts; also active against human pathogenic Gram positive or negative bacteria and fungi. | Pigments are produced by bacteria to absorb UV radiation or to quench oxygen free radicals.
