Abstract :
Melanin pigment produced by various microorganisms. In this study, soil isolate produce the melanin pigment in tyrosine medium which is identified Pseudomonas sp. closely related to stutzeri , the phenotypic characterization was identified. The purified pigment physical chemical properties was studied and characterized using UV-visible and FTIR analysis. The antibacterial and antioxidant assay were applicable in pharmacology.
