- Abstract
Mycelium of Hypoxylon sp. cultured in PDB medium was used to extract and purify melanin. The effects of melanin from Hypoxylon sp. on growth and activity of polyphenol oxidase of six fungi were assayed. The results showed that the melanin did not inhibit fungal growth, but could effectively induce the activity of polyphenol oxidase in these fungi. Within the concentrations of melanin added in culture, the maximum of polyphenol oxidase activity of the six fungi appeared at different time.
