Light influence on melaninogenesis of Cladosporium cladosporioides (Fresen) de Vries

M. A Fomina, E. N. Gromosova, V. S. Podgorsky

The effect of light and VV-irradiation on the melanin production of Cladosporium cladosporioides was studied. It was shown that these factors don't have considerable influence on the processes of melanin synthesis. The suppositionof constitutive nature of pigment synthesis of suchrepresentative of fungal" black race" as C. cladosporioides is advanced.
