UV-VIS spectrum of acetone extract from Halorubrum sp. TBZ126. The extract corresponds to 100 ml of culture in marine broth medium and 1 ml of the extract was diluted to 10 ml with acetone to give a reading in the spectrophotometer between 0.5 and 0.8 at the wavelength of the middle main absorption maximum of the extract (495 nm). The pigments in the extract solution showed absorption peaks at 469 nm, 494 nm and 526 nm.
