Considering the wealth of species and microbial varieties of cer- tain countries, the search of native strains with possible biotechnological po- tential that produces compounds of industrial interest is a form to impel scien- tific, economic and social advances within regions. In this study, it was selected and identified, morphological and biochemically by means of API CHB kit, a bacterial native strain of the Bacillus spp., which produces an orange pigment that was isolated, purified and characterized using different physical, chemical and spectrophotometric tests. The results indicate that the strain behaves like a Bacillus subtilis, probably denominated Bacillus globigii according to recent reports based on molecular identification techniques. In the same way, the pro- duced orange pigment was characterized, partially, like a melanin, more spe- cifically an allomelanin according to microbial origin. Nevertheless, it must be
