| --- | --- |
| Description | 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. |
