Microbial pigments are the naturally occurring pigments that are extracted from microorganisms. Pigments are regarded as secondary metabolite. They are not produced by every microorganism. Microbes produce a many pigments, which are studied for their potential. They decompose naturally, non-carcinogenic and non-toxic. Microbial pigments are currently produced and used on a commercial basis in the textile, cosmetic, and food industries. I'll investigate carotenoids because i love bright colors

Carotenoids also called tetraterpenoids, are yellow, orange, and red organic pigments that are produced by plants and algae, as well as several bacteria, and fungi.[1] Carotenoids give the characteristic color to pumpkins, carrots, parsnips, corn, tomatoes, canaries, flamingos, salmon, lobster, shrimp, and daffodils.[1] Carotenoids can be produced from fats and other basic organic metabolic building blocks by all these organisms.
The human skin, as the boundary organ between the human body and the environment, is under the constant influence of free radicals (FR), both from the outside in and from the inside out. Human skin contains carotenoids, such as α-, γ-, β-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene and their isomers, which serve the living cells as a protection against oxidation.
