Abstract excerpt
Secreted tyrosinase from melanin-forming Streptomyces avermitilis MA4680 was involved in both ortho-hydroxylation and further oxidation of trans-resveratrol, leading to the formation of melanin. This finding was confirmed by constructing deletion mutants of melC(2) and melD(2) encoding extracellular and intracellular tyrosinase, respectively; the melC2 deletion mutant did not produce piceatannol as well as...
