A preliminary study of fungal melanin by infrared spectroscopy

Geoderma, 1980
Abstract Infrared spectra of melanin and methylated melanin have been interpreted to show the existence of carboxyl groups in two different environments in the melanin structure. In one, there are a small number of carboxyl groups with an absorption band at about 1700 cm −1 ; these are relatively free and are capable of interaction with alkali to ...

Growth and reproduction of fungal feeding Collembola as affected by fungal species, melanin and mixed diets

Oecologia, 2004
Fungal feeding soil invertebrates feed on a wide spectrum of fungal species suggesting that mixed diets increase fitness. We investigated relationships between food preferences for seven saprophytic fungal species/forms and fitness parameters (mortality, growth, time to reproduction, reproduction, egg size) in two Collembola species, Folsomia candida ...

[Antioxidant features of fungal melanin pigments].

Prikladnaia biokhimiia i mikrobiologiia, 2001
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 micromycetes and macromycetes was accompanied by a decrease in the efficiency of inhibition of peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation.
