NANO DOPA MELANIN PIGMENT WITH COSMETIC POTENTIAL PRODUCED BY HALOTOLERANT MARINE CORYNEBACTERIUM AMYCOLATUM

Bacterial melanin are macromolecules found in nature that provide a wide range of biological functions, including pigmentation, resistance to radiation, scavenging of free radicals, thermoregulation and protected from oxidative stress and harmful heavy metals. The melanin is crucial for pathogenesis and bacterial survival in a variety of circumstances, and they can also influence how bacteria…
