Hyphal walls of Aspergillus phoenicis and Sclerotium rolfsii are composed of large amounts
of glucose-and N-acetylhexosamine-containing polysaccharides, and the walls are …

The effect of light and VV-irradiation on the melanin production of Cladosporium
cladosporioides was studied. It was shown that these factors don't have considerable …

Abstract Inactivation experiments with Aspergillus (Emericella) nidulans strains differing in
their conidial color were conducted. The green color in the wild type strain is caused by the …

Fungal melanin pigments were shown to display a high antioxidant activity. An increase in
the number of methyl substituents in benzidine molecules of melanins obtained from …

Evidence is presented that the resistance of Aspergillus nidulans hyphae to lysis by a β-(1→
3) glucanase-chitinase mixture results from the presence of melanin in the fungal walls. The …

The absorption spectra of melanins isolated from some black ascomycetes, as well as of
synthetic melanin and natural melanin from Sepia officinalis, were recorded in the long …
