Lysobacter is known as a bacterial genus with biotechnological potential, producing an array of enzymes, antimicrobial metabolites, and bioactive antioxidant compounds, including aryl polyene (APE) pigments that have been described as protecting substances against photooxidative damage and lipid peroxidation. In this study, the pigment extracted from keratinolytic Lysobacter sp. A03 isolated from Antarctic environment was characterized. The results of KOH test, UV-vis spectroscopy, CIELAB color system,
