Recently there has been increasing interest in using microorganism as a color source, since the cost efficiency, labor extensive land requirement and use of solvent for extraction in higher plant material therefore an investigation was undertaken microbial dyes. In the current study, the optimization of prodigiosin production has been studied using several substrates and parameters. The methanolic extract of pigment used to separation of prodigiosin and thin layer chromatography was used for purification of pigment. Pigment extracted from Serratia marcescens showed antibacterial, antifungal activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Candida spp. and Trichophyton rubrum.
