Melanization of Candida auris is Associated with Alteration of Extracellular pH

D. F. Q. Smith, N. J. Mudrak, D. Zamith-Miranda, L. Honorato, L. Nimrichter, C. Chrissian, B. Smith, G. J. Gerfen, R. E. Stark, J. D. Nosanchuk, A. Casadevall

This study identifies a novel mechanism of melanization in C. auris through extracellular alkalinization promoting non-enzymatic oxidation of L-DOPA to melanin.

Cryptococcus neoformans melanization incorporates multiple catecholamines to produce polytypic melanin

R. P. Baker, C. Chrissian, R. E. Stark, A. Casadevall

This study shows that Cryptococcus neoformans produces polytypic melanin by incorporating multiple catecholamines during infection, which has similar protective properties to melanin made from dopamine alone.
