Microbial Metabolism and Applications

This cluster of papers explores the chemistry, biology, biosynthesis, and applications of microbial pigments, with a focus on their use as food colorants and their potential biotechnological production. It also delves into the anticancer properties of prodigiosin and other secondary metabolites, particularly from Monascus fungi.

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
