Natural pigments are playing important roles in our daily lives. They not only make products colorful but also provide various health benefits for humans. In addition, genus, listed as food- and cosmetic-grade microorganism, is one of the promising organisms for developing natural pigments. In this study, a new fungal strain with high efficiency in producing intense orange pigments was isolated and identified as SYBC-L7. Different agro-industrial wastes were applied to evaluate the growth and pigment production of strain SYBC-L7. SYBC-L7 can grow rapidly and effectively produce pigments using wood chips as substrate in solid-state fermentation (SSF). Culture conditions were also optimized for value-added pigments production and the optimum production conditions were glucose as carbon source, ammonium tartrate as nitrogen source, initial pH 6.0, and relative humidity of 65%. Pigment components, cinnabarinic acid, tramesanguin, and 2-amino-9-formylphenoxazone-1-carbonic acid were confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Meanwhile, an agar plate diffusion assay was performed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the pigment. These pigments showed more significant inhibition of Gram-positive than Gram-negative bacteria. The results showed that SYBC-L7 was able to cost-effectively produce intense natural orange pigments with antibacterial activity in SSF, which is the basis of their large-scale production and application.
