A pigment-producing Aspergillus species was isolated from soil samples collected from Ahmednagar College. Brown colored pigment was obtained after extraction. Its phytochemical analysis showed presence of terpenoids, sterols, saponins, and proteins. The pigment showed inhibitory action against Candida, E. coli, & Staphylococcus. It was purified using silica gel column chromatography. The fractions were characterized by UV-Visible spectrophotometry where different peaks were obtained in 200 to 400 nm region
