Caretonoid is the group of substances which have high economic value, because of their usefulness for the human being. This reason make exploration in the carotenoid field is very frequent. This is including exploration to find a new carotenoid source. Some common carotonoid sources such as algae and plant need sun light to produce carotenoid. This is become a restriction in carotonoid production. Now days, some researchers try to find microorganisms as carotenoid producer which is no need of sun light. The purpose of this research is to find microorganism which is produce carotenoid. In this research we isolate microorganism from the air and water pond using nutrient agar. After several screening we find to isolates which are isolate 2 and isolate 3. Isolate 2 can produce. 698,6 ng carotrene per 100 ml of culture and isolate 3 can produce 572,69 ng karoten per 100 ml of culture. About 898,01 μg astaxanthin can be produce per 100 ml of isolate 2 culture. Specific growth of isolate 2 and isolate 3 are 0,4138/our and 0,1292/our respectively.
