ABSTRACT
Halophilic bacteria is grown in high saline condition and sources of industrial and
pharmaceutical purpose. The aim of this research work is extraction of pigments from
halophilic bacteria is isolated from marakanam salt pan. Soil is the potential source for
halophilic bacteria and its grown in halophilic agar media with supplement of NaCl
concentrations. The strains MS1 and MS2 produced the light orange and pale yellow color
pigments. Pigments produced strains were identified by morphological. Biochemical and
microscopical characterization were recorded.
