Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of melanin on the killing of strains 8656, Mel−3, and Mel−2. Strain 8656 is compared with its albinized cells, and Mel−3 is compared with its melanized cells after scytalone cross-feeding. Mel−2 cells that are not able to produce melanin from scytalone are also shown as controls. The mean values ± SD are shown; n = 6, ∗, Significantly different according to the Mann-Whitney U test (P < 0.005); n.s., differences not significant.
Article Snippet: The mutants Mel − 1 (ATCC 44502), Mel −2 (ATCC 44503), and Mel − 4 (ATCC 58058) had been produced previously by using N -methyl- N -nitro N -nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis ( 9 , 18 , 19 ).
