- Аннотация: Fungi possess all kinds of melanins found in nature. These pigments are products of polymerization of phenolic compounds. Phenolic precursors determine the polymerization products. Though formed via different precursors, polymerized melanins possess common properties. Melanin multifunctionality is well documented in fungi. Such functions of melanins as creating a tolerance to harsh environments are fulfilled in both saprophytes and parasites. But pathogenic fungi face double impact – hostile environment plus defenses of their hosts. Fungal melanin affords remarkable protection from many such factors and thus favors pathogenicity. Besides, pathogen melanins may act as an arm of aggression through involvement in parasite’s penetration and suppression of host’s responses. In outline, natural polymers of this group have irregular structure and perform effectively many biologically important functions related to high adaptive flexibility of their carriers.
