Aspergillus niger as a cell factory for the production of pyomelanin, a molecule with UV-C radiation shielding activity

Melanins are complex pigments with various biological functions and potential applications in space exploration and biomedicine due to their radioprotective properties. Aspergillus niger, a fungus known for its high radiation resistance, is widely used in biotechnology and a candidate for melanin pr...
