Metabolic reshaping drives novel melanin production from tryptophan in a cystic fibrosis <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> clinical isolate
2025-12-15
Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human opportunistic pathogen, capable of producing a wide range of metabolites, including pyomelanin. This pigment results from alterations in tyrosine catabolism. Melanin synthesis from tryptophan has never been reported in Pseudomonas . In this study, we describe a tryptophan-derived melanin in P. aeruginosa PAH, a strain that was isolated from a fibrocystic patient. PAH produced a...
