Biopigments: Fungal Pigments

2018
Synthetic dyes are frequently used in different fields such as for food industry, paper and agricultural industry and science and technology. But due to the adverse toxicological side effects of synthetic pigments used in the industries, now research is focused on the products from natural resources.

Enhancing the Production of the Fungal Pigment Aurofusarin in Fusarium graminearum [PDF]

open access: yesToxins, 2018
There is an increasing demand for products from natural sources, which includes a growing market for naturally-produced colorants. Filamentous fungi produce a vast number of chemically diverse pigments and are therefore explored as an easily accessible source.

Characterization of the melanin pigment of a cosmopolitan fungal endophyte

Mycological Research, 2004
Phyllosticta capitalensis (teleomorph Guignardia mangiferae) occurs as a foliar endophyte in woody trees belonging to different families of both temperate and tropical regions. We isolated this endophyte from plants in different habitats, such as mangroves, dry deciduous forest, moist deciduous forest and semi-evergreen forest. This endophyte was found

Pigmented Onychomycosis (Fungal Melanonychia)

2017
Fungal melanonychia is a variety of onychomycosis. It is caused by dematiaceous fungi and rarely by yeasts and non-dermatophyte molds. Its main feature is brown to black pigmentation of the nail.

Fungal Azaphilone Pigments as Promising Natural Colorants

Микробиология, 2023
Abstract—Microscopic fungi form and excrete numerous and diverse secondary metabolites, including pigments of various colors, which may be used as an alternative to chemical and plant colorants used in industry. Azaphilone compounds, first discovered in fungi of the genus Monascus, are among the promising classes of fungal pigments. The review analyzes

Antioxidant properties of fungal melanin pigments

Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology, 2000
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-mediated oxidation.

Determination of toxicity and radioprotective properties of bacterial and fungal eumelanin pigments

International Journal of Radiation Biology, 2023
Determination of the protective property of melanin, an organic polymer class consisting of phenolic and/or indolic compounds isolated from bacteria and fungi, against fast neutron radiation. To show that these melanin samples, which also have antioxidant and metal chelating properties, can be used as an active ingredient for a drug to be developed ...

Developing fungal pigments for “painting” vascular plants

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012
The use of fungal pigments as color additives to wood as a method to increase forest revenue is a relatively new, but quickly developing field. Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) is currently the primary utilized hardwood for spalting and appears to be the best suited North American hardwood for such purposes.

Enzymatic degradation of fungal pigmentation from wall painting’s isolates

Color Research & Application, 2016
AbstractEnzymatic discolouration of extracellular pigments produced in liquid media by a selected fungal isolate from Portuguese mural paintings was attempted both in solution and on solid support. A promising versatile peroxidase from Bjerkandera adusta was tested and presented interesting discolouration ability, although smaller than the values ...
