Melanin, melanin "ghosts," and melanin composition in Cryptococcus neoformans.
Melanin synthesis is associated with virulence for the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. Exposure of nonmelanized C. neoformans 4067 cells to 4 M guanidinium isothiocyanate followed by 6 M HCl at 100 degrees C resulted in complete solubilization of cellular structures. However, exposure of melanized C. neoformans 24067 to the same conditions produced a suspension of black particles. An...
متن کاملIsolation, Characterization of Melanin Producing Organism and Extraction of Melanin
Melanin producing organism was isolated from a soil sample of Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra using Tyrosine casein media. The isolated organism’s morphology and spore arrangement was studied. The isolated organism was suspected to belong to the genus Streptomyces. Parameter optimization of the Tyrosine casein media with respect to carbon and nitrogen source was done. Starch and L-glycine were...
متن کاملMelanin, and Cleistothecia
A mutation in Aspergillus nidulans led to a loss of both melanin and ca-(1,3)glucan, a major wall polysaccharide. In addition, the mutation prevented the formation of cleistothecia. Mutant walls contained increased amounts of ,B(1,3)-glucan and galactose polymers, and electron micrographs indicated that they had lost the outermost wall layer. Such walls were more readily digested by lytic enzym...
متن کاملStudy of Melanin Bleaching After Immunohistochemistry of Melanin-containing Tissues
Melanin may interfere with immunohistochemical staining. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) bleaching, potassium permanganate bleaching, and potassium dichromate bleaching on melanin, tissue antigen, and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) using melanin-containing and melanin-free tissue samples. Our results demonstrated that all 3 bleaching method...
متن کاملBiochemistry of melanin formation.
ELANIN PIGMENTATION has aroused the curiosity and attention of man since the beginning of recorded history. This interest stems in part from the social, protective and cosmetic significance of pigmentation. In addition, much interest has arisen concerning the possible role of melanin formation in the development of the melanoma which has been described as having the most sinister reputation of ...
