Abstract
Microbial pigments and biogenic nanoparticles have gained increasing attention as sustainable alternatives to their synthetic counterpart due to their eco-friendly nature and diverse applications. This study focuses on harnessing the potential of an isolated bacterium, identified as Burkholderia sp. EIKU21 for pigment production coupled with biogenic ZnO-NP synthesis while solubilizing bulk ZnO (bZnO), and subsequent application in textile dyeing and coating with enhanced antimicrobial properties. EIKU21 started production of pigment in culture medium in 8 days during batch growth when maximum bZnO solubilization (~ 800 mg Zn/L) was observed. Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS), DLS, zeta potential, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDAX), TEM, and XRD analyses of 0.22 μm membrane filtered cell-free supernatant (CFS) affirmed the synthesis of stable biogenic ZnO-NPs of average size 55.08 ± 2.28 nm (hydrodynamic size ~ 78.89 nm) with negative surface charge (~ − 3.86 mV). Pigment in cell-free supernatant was successfully applied to dye cotton fabrics under different condition and optimization through CIElab and K/S measurement indicated excellent color retention at 100 °C for 60 min (K/S-0.5244) even after rinsing with water and detergent. Furthermore, SEM and EDAX analyses, supported by FTIR spectral analysis, confirmed the coating of dyed fabric with stable biogenic ZnO-NP. The dyed fabric exhibited varying degrees of antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa emphasizing their potential for use in fabric with enhanced hygiene and longevity. Our findings highlight the dual benefits of utilizing Burkholderia sp. EIKU21 derived pigments conjugated with biogenic ZnO-NPs for sustainable textile dyeing and antibacterial coating on the fabric that foster eco-friendly and effective solutions for the textile industry.
