Abstract
Small colonies (90 – 350 μm in diameter) of the pigmented halophilic bacterium Halobacterium salinarium have been studied by Raman microspectroscopy using excitation at 632.8 nm. The Raman spectra were dominated by bands due to carotene compounds. The intensity of the pigment bands varied across the diameter of the colonies in a way that suggested the presence of concentric rings of higher pigment concentration. Although the colonies were grown in a transparent incubator in an open laboratory, it was demonstrated that the rings were not a result of the diurnal variation of light and dark. These results support a proposed model relating cell motility and cell concentration.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
