Violacein is a deep violet pigment (secondary metabolite) not water-soluble and it is produced by Iodobacter sp.

Product Code: pig_vio_002

Highlights

Violacein is a natural purple pigment found in microorganisms living in unique environments, from the tropic to glaciers. It acts as a natural defense system and present antitumor, antibacterial, antiulcerogenic, antileishmanial, and antiviral activities.

Our violacein is coming from a non-pathogenic, psychrotolerant microorganism, a non-GMO product that preserves all the power of nature while having a competitive price.

This novel violacein has a high purity and is stable for over two years at temperatures between 2 and 8 °C.

Description

Violacein is a deep violet pigment, is a secondary metabolite, not water-soluble and it is produced by some extremophilic bacteria. L- tryptophan is the precursor of violacein biosynthesis, belonging to the indole derivatives. The reaction is composed of two oxidations and one condensation of tryptophan molecule. This biocompounds exhibits important antitumoral, antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties.
