Melanins: Functions, Biotechnological Production, and Applications
This book provides an up-to-date overview of the biological functions of melanins, their biotechnological production, and their industrial applications.
The melanins form a group of polymeric pigments found in most organisms. These natural products are generated by the oxidation of phenolic and indolic molecules yielding melanins, which include eumelanin, pheomelanin, pyomelanin, and the allomelan...
