Aim: Melanin has been linked to pathogenesis in several fungi. They often produce melanin-
like pigments in the presence of L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), but this is poorly …

The fungal pathogen Candida albicans produces dark-pigmented melanin after 3 to 4 days
of incubation in medium containing l-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) as a substrate …

Candida auris is a recently emerged global fungal pathogen, which causes life-threatening
infections, often in healthcare settings. C. auris infections are worrisome because the fungus …

The fungal pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis produces a melanin-like pigment in the
presence of l-DOPA in vitro. We investigated whether melanization affected yeast uptake by …

Several human pathogenic fungi produce melanin. One of its properties during parasitism is
the protection against antifungal drugs. This occurs with the agents of chromoblastomycosis …

Many fungi produce melanins, which can play critical roles in virulence and pathogenicity. In
fungal pathogenic species, melanin confers protection against host immune defense …

A key component of the insect immune response is melanin production, including within
nodules, or aggregations of immune cells surrounding microbes. Melanization produces …

Fonsecaea pedrosoi is a fungal pathogen that produces melanin. The functions of melanin
and its possible influence in the protective immunological response during infection by F …

Melanin is a complex polymer widely distributed in nature and has been described as an
important virulence factor in several pathogenic fungi, including Sporothrix schenckii. The …
