TLDR
It is shown that the optimal medium for PLP yield was sunflower oil-supplemented MLB medium, which resulted in an approximately 14-fold higherPLP yield than that in LB broth, and Mass spectrometry and NMR analysis indicated that the PLP product is a prodigiosin derivative, called undecylprodigioin.About:

Prodigiosin from the supernatant of Serratia marcescens induces apoptosis in haematopoietic cancer cell lines
Beatriz Montaner,Sira Navarro,Maria Piqué,Marta Vilaseca,Marc Martinell,Ernest Giralt,Joan Gil,Ricardo Pérez-Tomás +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that prodigiosin, an immunosuppressor, induces apoptosis in haematopoietic cancer cells with no marked toxicity in nonmalignant cells, raising the possibility of its therapeutic use as an antineoplastic drug.
