Note: / The presence of carotenoids in bacteria was demonstrated by Zopf in 1889, who designated this group of bacterial pigments lipochromes because of their solubility in the fat solvents. He demonstrated the presence of the carotenoids by means of the lipocyan reaction. This reaction is a color test for carotenoids and consist of adding concentrated sulfuric acid to an ethereal solution of the pigment and a positive test gives a deep indigo blue color.
