Application of violet pigment from Chromobacterium violaceum UTM5 in textile dyeing
Natural dyes and pigments are emerged as an important alternative to potentially harmful synthetic dyes. There is a growing demand for eco-friendly/non-toxic colourants specifically for textile dyeing because of its sustainability, green chemistry and improved eco-balances. The present study aimed t...
