Description
Summary:•Screening of bacteria producing carotenoid in sub Antarctic region.•Identification of 10 carotenoids by chromatographic and spectroscopic analysis.•Salinibacterium sp. and Cryobacterium sp. were identified as new carotenoid sources.•C.p.450 monoglucoside was identified in Planoccous isolates.•All isolates could be potential sources for carotenoid production.
