Abstract | Accumulation of melanin pigment in some specific areas of human skin leads to various skin disorders. This study includes melanin production and extraction from non-dermatophyte, filamentous fungi (Aspergillus niger). The effect of carbon, nitrogen, pH and temperature on melanin production was also observed. Qualitative and Quantitative analysis was performed to confirm melanin pigment from A. niger by using solubility test, precipitation test and reaction with oxidizing and reducing agent. Fungus gave maximum melanin production with dextrose, peptone, pH 5.6 at 37 |
