Description
Asmaa Yassein, Osama Al-Bedak, and Rokaia Elamary report a 2025 study of a pigment made by the fungus Aspergillus frequens. Filamentous fungi make many colored compounds that find use in food, cosmetics, cloth, and drugs, and this study tests one such pigment for the first time.
Among twenty fungi from soil around roots, this strain made the most pigment in broth. Microscopy showed rough particles of mixed size, rich in carbon and oxygen. The team then tested the pigment for killing bacteria, breaking up biofilms, and slowing cell growth, three traits that point to uses in health and industry.
