Production and properties of non-cytotoxic pyomelanin by laccase and comparison to bacterial and synthetic pigments
Abstract Pyomelanin is a polymer of homogentisic acid synthesized by microorganisms. This work aimed to develop a production process and evaluate the quality of the pigment. Three procedures have been elaborated and optimized, (1) an HGA-Mn2+ chemical autoxidation (PyoCHEM yield 0.317 g/g substrate)...
