Optimal media and cultural conditions for the production of red pigment were established using Monasurs anka KFCC 4478. The optimal temperature and initial pH for the production of red pigment were 30$^{circ}C$ and 7.0, respectively. Glucose turned out to be most suitable carbon source for red pigment production. Optimal glucose concentration was 3.0%. Addition combined of nitrogen sources of peptone and NaNo3 induced good red pigment production. Thiamine-HCI and nicotinic acid were increased the production of red pigment. Under optimal conditions, maximum red pigment production and cell growth were observed after 5 days of incubation.
