Separation and quantification of pigments from natural phototrophic microbial populations [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1985 A simple high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is described for the rapid (approx. 20 min) simultaneous separation and identification of the major chlorophylls and carotenoids from phytoplankton cells and phototrophic sulfur bacteria. Lyophilized samples were extracted with acetone in the dark at room temperature.
