Melanization in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Cryptococcus neoformans</named-content> Requires Complex Regulation
ABSTRACT The fungal human pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans undergoes melanization in response to nutrient starvation and exposure to exogenous melanin precursors. Melanization protects the fungus against host defense mechanisms such as oxidative damage and other environmental stressors (e.g., heat/c...
