PIGMENT PRODUCTION BY FUNGI

Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology, 1941
In the routine identification of fungi, minute structural changes such as the size and arrangement of spores are seldom important. Undue emphasis on points of microscopic differentiation might even be misleading, as for instance in certain fluffy colonies suspected of being Trichophyton gypseum or Trichophyton purpureum, for with both organisms the ...

Genotoxicity of quinone pigments from pathogenic fungi

Mutation Research Letters, 1983
The genotoxicity and mutagenicity of several kinds of quinone pigments from pathogenic fungi were examined by means of the hepatocyte primary culture (HPC)/DNA repair test and of Ames test with TA98 and TA100. Clear genotoxicity of the two quinone chemicals, xanthomegnin and luteosporin were observed in the HPC/DNA repair test, though definite ...

Antarctic Fungi as Producers of Pigments

2019
Fungi derived from Antarctic ecological niches are a focus of interest due to their extremophilic adaptability. Antarctic pigmented fungi have been isolated from samples such as lichens, mosses, rhizosphere soil of Deschampsia antarctica, sedimentary rocks, snow, soil, water, and zooplankton and are shown to be promising in the production of pigments ...

Biosynthesis of Naphthoquinone Pigments by Fungi of the Genus Fusarium

Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology, 2005
We studied biosynthesis of colored naphthoquinone metabolites by Fusarium decemcellulare, F. graminearum, and F. bulbigenum fungi. F. bulbigenum and F. graminearum synthesized bikaverin and aurofusarin, respectively, which depended on the conditions of cultivation. F.
