The Protective Role of 1,8-Dihydroxynaphthalene–Melanin on Conidia of the Opportunistic Human Pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus Revisited: No Role in Protection against Hydrogen Peroxide and Superoxides

Previously, 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN)-melanin was described to protect Aspergillus fumigatus against hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), thereby protecting this opportunistic human pathogen from reactive oxygen species generated by the immune system. This was based on the finding that the ATCC 46645...
