Abstract
Serratia marcescens biovar A2/A6, isolated from an Indonesian freshwater source, was identified based on extensive morphological, biochemical and genetic characterization. Formation of pigment was found to be strongly influenced by environmental conditions. Placket-Burman design was used to analyze the effect of carbon and nitrogen sources. Based on results of physiological and biochemical studies, the optimum conditions for growth and pigment formation were incubation 30$^{\circ}C$ in a neutral to slightly alkaline medium containing lactic acid and beef extract.
