Abstract

Biotechnological application of bacterial polymers, including pyomelanin have been discussed (David, et al, 1996; Weiner, 1997). The multifaceted nature of melanin, including pyomelanin offers numerous opportunities for applications, such as reporter genes, cosmetics, dyes, colorings and sunscreens (Weiner, 1997). In this report, we demonstrated
