Melanins are implicated in the pathogenesis of several human diseases, including some
microbial infections. In this study, we analyzed whether the conidia and the yeasts of the …

Melanin pigments are substances produced by a broad variety of pathogenic
microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and helminths. Microbes predominantly produce …

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 …

Melanins are found universally in nature and are implicated in the pathogenesis of several
important human fungal pathogens. This study investigated whether the conidia and the …

Melanin has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several important human fungal
pathogens. Existing data suggest that the conidia of the dimorphic fungal pathogen …

Melanin is made by several important pathogenic fungi and has been implicated in the
pathogenesis of a number of fungal infections. This study investigated whether the thermally …

Using techniques developed to study melanization in other fungi, we demonstrate that
Coccidioides posadasii arthroconidia, spherules, and endospores produce melanin or …

Melanins are implicated in the pathogenesis of several important human diseases. This
study confirmed the presence of melanin particles in Candida albicans in vitro and during …

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 …

Melanin is made by several important pathogenic fungi and is implicated in the
pathogenesis of a number of mycoses. This study investigates whether the thermally …
