Gene cluster conservation identifies melanin and perylenequinone biosynthesis pathways in multiple plant pathogenic fungi

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 913-927, March 2019., 2019
Summary Perylenequinones are a family of structurally related polyketide fungal toxins with nearly universal toxicity. These photosensitizing compounds absorb light energy which enables them to generate reactive oxygen species that damage host cells.

Melanins: Skin Pigments and Much More—Types, Structural Models, Biological Functions, and Formation Routes

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.

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 ...
