Melanin is a ubiquitous pigment found in most organisms it is a dark-brown or black pigment formed by the oxidation of phenolic compounds. They are negatively charged amorphous compounds having quinone groups. In this study; melanin-producing microorganism was isolated from soil obtained from iron ore mine. The soil was enriched in modified Ashbys glucose broth for 15 days at 30°C further to which it was isolated on modified Ashbys agar at 30°C for seven days; the colonies showing pigmentation
