  • Title: Decreased susceptibility of melanized Cryptococcus neoformans to UV light.
    Author: Wang Y, Casadevall A.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1994 Oct; 60(10):3864-6. PubMed ID: 7986054.
    Abstract:
    Melanized Cryptococcus neoformans cells were less susceptible than nonmelanized cells to the fungicidal effects of UV light. Phenoloxidase-catalyzed production of melanin-like pigments may serve to protect the fungus against ionizing radiation.
