Production of Melanin from Fungus
This technology is related to process of production of melanin. According to this technology melanin can be easily produced by growing fungus in culture medium.The fungus used in technology is natural and wild type organism. The melanin is secreted externally into the culture medium and is harvested from there. It is a natural melanin and not synthetic. What is Novelty? Earlier melanin production technologies uses genetically modified organism whereas this technology uses natural organism. Melanin produced from earlier technologies is synthetic and expensive while melanin obtained from present technology is natural and inexpensive.
