The red pigment prodigiosin is of high pharmaceutical interest, due to its potential applications as an antitumor drug and antibiotic agent. As previously demonstrated, Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is a suitable host for prodigiosin production, as it exhibits high tolerance toward the antimicrobial properties of prodigiosin. So far, prodigiosin concentrations of up to 94 mg/L have been achieved in shake flask cultivations. For the characterization and optimization of the prodigiosin production process, the scattered light of P. putida and fluorescence of prodigiosin was measured. The excitation and emission wavelengths for prodigiosin measurement were analyzed by recording 2D fluorescence spectra. The strongest prodigiosin fluorescence was obtained at a wavelength combination of 535/560 nm. By reducing the temperature to 18 °C and using 16 g/L glucose, the prodigiosin concentration was more than doubled compared with the initial cultivation conditions. The obtained results demonstrate the capabilities of parallelized microscale cultivations combined with noninvasive online monitoring of fluorescence for rapid bioprocess development, using prodigiosin as a molecule of current biotechnological interest.
