New Journal of Science, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 This review presents a general view of all types of melanin in all types of organisms. Melanin is frequently considered just an animal cutaneous pigment and is treated separately from similar fungal or bacterial pigments. Similarities concerning the phenol precursors and common patterns in the formation routes are discussed.

Peritonitis due to the dermatiaceous mold Exophiala dermatitidis complicating continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
, 2003 Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis is a dermatiaceous mold that is an occasional cause of infection in the immunocompromised. We report a case of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis probably due to environmental contamination

Colorful World of Microbes: Carotenoids and Their Applications
Advances in Biology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Microbial cells accumulate pigments under certain culture conditions, which have very important industrial applications. Microorganisms can serve as sources of carotenoids, the most widespread group of naturally occurring pigments. More than 750 structurally different yellow, orange, and red colored molecules are found in both eukaryotes and ...

Effects of stress conditions on Wangiella dermatitidis and its various chitin synthase mutants
, 2006 textWangiella dermatitidis is a dematiaceous (melanized) fungus that causes pheohyphomycosis in humans. Although W. dermatitidis predominantly exists as a budding yeast in vitro, it can be induced to convert into one or the other of its alternative ...

Exophiala(Wangiella)dermatitidiskeratitis after keratoplasty [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 1999 We report the first French case of an intraocular infection due to Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis. Two months after a second corneal transplant for congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, the patient presented with ocular pain and corneal infiltrates leading to the graft rejection.

Polyketide Trimming Shapes Dihydroxynaphthalene‐Melanin and Anthraquinone Pigments
Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 22, June 12, 2024.Vital Pigment Functions: Anthraquinones and dihydroxynaphthalene‐melanins play roles in cancer therapy or act as virulence factors. Protein crystallography, along with structure‐based mutagenesis and activity assays, provides atomic insights into polyketide trimming, ring formation, and thioester hydrolysis during AQ and DHN‐melanin biosynthesis in ...

Serological analysis and pathogenic potentials of Wangiella dermatitidis isolated from bats
, 1981 Five isolates of Wangiella dermatitidis from macroscopically asymptomatic bats were analysed by the agar-gel immunodiffusion tests and the mouse inoculation studies on virulence.

Yeast-phase cell cycle of the polymorphic fungus Wangiella dermatitidis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1980 The yeast-phase cell cycle of Wangiella dermatitidis was studied using flow microfluorimetry and the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU). Exposure of exponential-phase yeastlike cells to 0.1 M HU for 3 to 6 h resulted in the arrest of the cells in DNA synthesis and produced a nearly homogeneous population of unbudded cells.
