Application Notes

Scytalone is a trihydroxytetralone first isolated from Scytaladium sp. by Findlay and Kwan, University of New Brunswick, Canada in 1972. Scytalone has subsequently been isolated from a large number of species of diverse fungal genera. Scytalone is a pivotal intermediate of melanin biosynthesis in fungi and is considered to play an integral role in spore structural development and protecting spores from biotic and abiotic stresses.
