What is Prodigiosin?
• A secondary metabolite of various strains of Serratia, and other Gram negative gammaproteobacteria.
• It is responsible for the red pigment produced by Serratia marcescens.
• Produced under the control of 14 genes(pigA-pigN)

S. marcescens• S. marcescens is a species
of Gram negative, rod shaped bacteria
• Grows on TSA
• Known to cause many nosocomial infections
• Thrives in high moisture environments
• Sample graciously donated by Dr. Walter

Significance?
• Recently, has gotten attention for its newfound benefits.
• Such as: antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antimalarial, immunosuppressive, and anticancer properties
• Has no or little toxicity to cell lines (may operate as a cell cycle regulator)

pigI Gene
We chose pigI because it is involved in one of the beginning pathways of MBC(4-methoxy-2,2`-bipyrrole-5-carbaldehydе)
This is a precursor of prodigiosin
