Abstract: Tissue isolation performed on discomycetes specimens, 25 filament products were obtained. Culture conditions of L.brasiliense 84-2, L.sclerotii 88-2 and L.singerianum 95-1 were studied. The results showed that the optimum conditions for the growth of strains were potato 250 g/L, glucose 20 g/L, VB1 0.01 g/L, 25 ℃ and pH 5.5. The optimum conditions for producing pigment of L.brasiliense 84-2 were obtained as follows: potato 250 g/L, NaHCO3 20 g/L, KNO3 5 g/L, glycin 0.01 g/L and pH 7.0.
