Natural compounds are always interesting in life. In the study, pigment producing bacterium was isolated from Hot spring in Binh Chau (Vietnam). The bacterium was identified by 16S sRNA, showing 99% similarity to Exiguobacterium indicum B02 and was named Exiguobacterium indicum PN04. Exiguobacterium indicum PN04 has many activities as agar, gelatin, cellulose, lipid hydrolysis. By extraction of pigment of Exiguobacterium indicum PN04, there were different pigments produced in this bacterium. One of these pigment, beta-carotene was determined by FTIR and MS analysis. As a result, Exiguobacterium indicum PN04 is a potential source for many active compounds those were not announced before
