Abstract: Prodigiosin is a natural pigment produced by Serratia marcescens. The colony of Serratia marcescens was grown in MacConkey agar, Nutrient Agar and Luria Bertani Agar. Excessive pigment was produced in Luria Bertani Agar when compared to MacConkey agar and Nutrient Agar. Antibacterial activity was evaluated using test organisms such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus by well diffusion method. The pigment was impregnated in the wells prepared on the surface of the test organism in different concentrations and incubated. The clear zone of inhibition formed around the well indicates antibacterial activities in vitro.
