Melanin Biosynthesis

Melanin Biosynthesis is a biochemical process in which fungi produce melanin pigments through the polymerization of phenolic or indolic precursors, distinguishing it from other secondary metabolic pathways by its specific role in enhancing cellular resistance to environmental stress and contributing to virulence in fungal pathogenesis.
