Melanin from the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum: a spectroscopic characterization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Melanins, the ubiquitous hetero-polymer pigments found widely dispersed among various life forms, are usually dark brown/black in colour. Although melanins have variety of biological functions, including protection against ultraviolet radiation of ...

Effect of Melanization on Thallus Microstructure in the Lichen Lobaria pulmonaria
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Lichens often grow in microhabitats where they experience severe abiotic stresses. Some species respond to high UV radiation by synthesizing dark brown melanic pigments in the upper cortex. However, unlike the melanized structures of non-lichenized fungi,
