Summary, etc. <p style="text-align: justify;">Reddish brown pigment has been extracted from dry mycelium of <em>Alternaria alternata</em> in methanol and then evaluated for dyeing efficacy on cotton fabrics. The pigment producing fungus <em>A. alternata </em>is grown in maize grain broth maintained at <em>p</em>H 6. Shade of Sienna is obtained on cotton. Dyed cotton fabric has recorded a grey scale rating of 2-3 and 4-5 for colour fastness and multi fibre staining respectively. Maximum dye absorption of 63% has been observed on cotton fabrics. The antimicrobial property of dyed fabric is also tested. Potent antimicrobial activity is observed against <em>Staphylococcus epidermis</em> (42 mm)<em> </em>and <em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em> (39 mm)<em>.</em></p>
