Abstract

Opportunistic pathogens likeAspergillus fumigatushave strategies to protect themselves against reactive oxygen species like hydrogen peroxides and superoxides that are produced by immune cells. DHN-melanin is the green pigment on conidia ofAspergillus fumigatusand more than 2 decades ago was reported to protect conidia against hydrogen peroxide.
