Microbial Production of Melanin Pigments from Caffeic Acid and L-Tyrosine Using <i>Streptomyces glaucescens</i> and FCS-ECH-Expressing <i>Escherichia coli</i>

Microbial Production of Melanin Pigments from Caffeic Acid and L-Tyrosine Using <i>Streptomyces glaucescens</i> and FCS-ECH-Expressing <i>Escherichia coli</i>

In this study, synthetic allomelanin was prepared from wild-type <i>Streptomyces glaucescens</i> and recombinant <i>Escherichia coli</i> BL21(DE3) strains. <i>S. glaucescens</i> could produce 125.25 ± 6.01 mg/L of melanin with a supply of 5 mM caffeic acid within...
