Melanin in Fonsecaea pedrosoi: a trap for oxidative radicals
BACKGROUND: The pathogenic fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi constitutively produces the pigment melanin, an important virulence factor in fungi. Melanin is incorporated in the cell wall structure and provides chemical and physical protection for the fungus. We evaluated the production of nitric oxide (NO)...
