Aspergillus fumigatus is a worldwide-distributed saprophytic fungus and the major cause of
invasive aspergillosis. This fungus can produce two types of melanin …

The opportunistic human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus produces at least two
types of melanin, namely pyomelanin and dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin …

In Aspergillus fumigatus, the conidial surface contains dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN)-
melanin. Six-clustered gene products have been identified that mediate sequential catalysis …

Melanins are ubiquitous pigments found in all kingdoms of life. Most organisms use them for
protection from environmental stress, although some fungi employ melanins as virulence …

Melanins, or melanin-like compounds, may play a role in the pathogenesis of a number of
human fungal infections. This study investigated the production of melanin by the important …

Melanins provide fungi protection from environmental stressors, support their ecological
roles, and can confer virulence in pathogens. While the function, structure, and synthesis of …

For more than 40 years fungi have been known to produce pigments known as melanins.
Predominantly these have been dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)-melanin and …

Aspergillus fumigatus produces heavily melanized infectious conidia. The conidial melanin
