| Summary: | Natural bacterial pigment from the microorganism was an attractive alternative choice of
photosensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells. In this study, Paracoccus sp that are able to
produce astaxanthin and bacterium capable of melanin production on nutrient agar were
isolated and identified through biochemical test and DNA gene sequencing method.
Bacterial pigments were purified and characterized using Thin Layer Chromatography, Gas
Chromatography- Mass Spectrophotometer, Ultraviolet-visible, and Fourier Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy analysis. Dye-sensitized solar cell that apply brown bacterial
pigment as organic dye produce 63.4 mV at the 3`l day while dye-sensitized solar cell that
apply orange bacterial pigment as organic dye produce 49.6 mV at the 3'd day. |
