Black yeasts share some distinctive characteristics, in particular melanisation of their cell wall.

The main processes that lead to the formation of grassland Mollisols are melanisation, decomposition, humification and pedoturbation.

Knock down of TEP1-R stops parasite melanisation.

TEP1 covalently binds to the surface of invading pathogens, promoting phagocytosis, lysis and melanisation.

PolyDNAvirus can also act on melanisation, MdBV interferes with the production of phenoloxidase.

Varying degrees of melanisation or similar are NOT part of the "problem": PC "brainwashing" by "elements whose motives are suspect" is the essence of the problem.

Our study demonstrates that the 'carbonaria gene' is not a structural variant of a canonical melanisation pathway gene, neither is it a cis-regulatory element of these enzyme-coding genes.

The list of candidates contains all the genes previously implicated in melanisation pattern differences in other insects, including aaNAT, DOPA-decarboxylase, ebony, tan, tyrosine hydroxylase, yellow and yellow2 (yellow-fa).

The traditional English weather, obviously, is not conducive to melanisation en masse, but it is a simple fact that the "native Brits" are no longer receptive to the currently popular PC ideals of their becoming an inert minority within their own country.

Industrial melanism is mostly concerned with the visual effects of melanization.

Vesicles and cisternae were not present in appressoria during melanization.

A melanization process in the outer layer of the cell wall and the capsule accompanies these patterns.

A major innate defense system in invertebrates is the melanization of pathogens and damaged tissues.

Larvae were not destroyed by haemocytes or melanization.

Melanization was initiated at the periphery of the cell wall and progressed inwards towards the cytoplasm.

Their sting glands had blackened — a melanization last reported fifty years ago in connection with rare fungal infections.

Another proposed mechanism for rapid industrial melanization is that there is a thermal advantage from the darker coloration.

It is theorized that organisms that experience melanization have better immunity to toxic chemicals put into the environment by industrial pollution.

This indicated that the lack of melanization in the albino mutant was not due to an absence of phenol oxidase activity.

Other studies have been conceived to find other aspects of melanization contributing to the survivability of the organism other than visual inconspicuousness.

Epicatechin and catechin may prevent coffee berry disease by inhibition of appressorial melanization of Colletotrichum kahawae.

Candida, virulence, insect, nodule, melanization, apolipophorin-III.

The data suggest that the melanization of markings on different areas of the body of the Colorado potato beetle are under the control of different genes.

Bi-VSP injected through the stinger induces a lethal melanization response in target insects by modulating the innate immune response.

No 3HNR reductase gene expression nor melanization was observed when Curvularia lunata was grown in yeast nitrogen base medium.

Epigenetic changes in moth offspring affect the production of phenoloxidase, an enzyme involved with melanization and correlated with resistance of certain pathogens in many invertebrate species.

Northern analyses revealed that 3HNR from Curvularia lunata is expressed synchronously with melanization after 3 days of Curvularia lunata growth in malt extract medium.

Within minutes after infection, the microbe is encapsulated within melanin (melanization), and the generation of free radical byproducts during the formation of this capsule is thought to aid in killing them.

The integument also includes enzyme systems responsible for the synthesis and degradation of the major cuticular materials and those involved in melanization and sclerotization; many of these systems require fuller investigation.

Signaling pathways that upregulate melanization in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) also may be implicated in the downregulation of rod outer segment phagocytosis by the RPE.

However, melanization may come at some metabolic cost to the fungal cells: in the absence of radiation, some non-melanized fungi (that had been mutated in the melanin pathway) grew faster than their melanized counterparts.

In invertebrates, pattern recognition proteins (PRPs) trigger proteolytic cascades that degrade proteins and control many of the mechanisms of the innate immune system of invertebrates-including hemolymph coagulation and melanization.

Extracellular phenol oxidase activity was characterized and compared in Pyricularia oryzae wild-type and albino cell types to determine if this phenol oxidase was responsible for lack of melanization in the albino culture.
