This experiment was conducted to determine the possibility of utilization vegetable waste juice in production purple non-sulfur bacterium Afifella marina biomass. Bacterium cultured four diluted such as, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (v/v) juices. In addition synthetic 112 media were used as control compare growth characteristics marine. The grew well 10% anaerobic light condition with highest 5.02 g/l dry cell weight fifth day culture, whereas total carotenoid 0.87 mg/g recorded third culture. productions VWJ significantly higher compared other treatments (F = 14.63; p 0.00). However, bacteria showed no significant difference media, but three (P bacterium, has ability use at certain level for bacterial
