BACKGROUND
Dyes are commonly used in food/beverages, drugs, cosmetics, clothing, paper and other consumerproducts. While it’s most important to keep unpurified dyes out of food and drinks,consumers are increasingly aware of synthetic ingredients found in everydayproducts and look for natural substitutes whenever possible. With growing concernover meeting consumer demand, many companies are ready to replace some or allof their synthetic chemical-based dyes, especially blue, with natural dyes. Indigoidine a blue tint originally synthesized from a bacterialstrain that does not produce significant quantities of indigoidine and mimickedthe organism’s biosynthetic machinery inside a heterologous host cell: E. coli.These mostly harmless bacteria can produce significantly higher yields of the bluepigment and do so without using synthetic compounds that could pose a threat tohuman health and the environment.
