PRODUCTION OF GLYCOSYLATED MELANIN PRECURSORS IN RECOMBINANT HOSTS

The invention relates to methods for producing melanin and melanin precursors, derivatives, and intermediates. In particular, recombinant microorganisms are disclosed that express tyrosinases to produce 5,6-DHI and express UGT polypeptides capable of either in vivo or in vitro glycosylation of melan...

Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to methods for producing melanin and melanin precursors, derivatives, and intermediates. In particular, recombinant microorganisms are disclosed that express tyrosinases to produce 5,6-DHI and express UGT polypeptides capable of either in vivo or in vitro glycosylation of melanin precursors, derivatives, and intermediates. Glycosylated 5,6-DHI is produced both in vivo and in vitro.
