Abstract: Background: Antioxidants can be obtained from various sources, including bacterial pigments, which are natural compounds with great potential in various applications. Therefore, this study aimed to explore microbial pigments as antioxidants from various sources, to identify isolates macroscopically, microscopically, and molecularly, as well as to conduct bacterial antioxidant tests followed by molecular identification. Materials and Methods: Materials and chemicals used in this study were nutrient broth, bactoagar, KIT gram staining alcohol 70%, aquadest, DPPH, (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), methanol, ethanol, isolation KIT DNA Favorgen........
Keywords: Microbial pigment, antioxidant, 16S rRNA, macroscopically, microscopically, molecularly.
