History of Indigoidine

A naturally occurring blue pigment now called indigoidine, 135 years in the making, now accessible through biotechnology – and it’s history.

HISTORY

1890

Microbes that produce a blue pigment were discovered and investigated by a German Chemist, Claessen

1939

The blue pigment was isolated and investigated by another chemist and named indigoicine. The structure remained unknown still.

1965

The chemical structure of indigoidine was discovered after multiple years of study by Richard Kuhn. Making the pigment remained challenging since it is produced at low yields by natural microbes.

2002

The genes responsible for indigoidine biosynthesis were discovered, showing the natural production pathway of indigoidine for the first time

2012

The first genetically modified organism makes indigoicine.

2019

Multiple organisms have been engineered to make indigoine by academic labs. The product is nearly ready for a commercial application.

Now

Shreenika launches an industrial process for affordable indigoidine for the masses.
