Figure 7

Nonreducing sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE gel of CYE of W. dermatitidis developed with L-DOPA. Synthesis of a black pigment consistent with melanin occurs in situ on the gel. Lane A, commercial laccase; lane B, 200 μg of W. dermatitidis strain wdpks1 Δ-1 CYE of treated with KCN; lane C, 200 μg of W. dermatitidis strain wdpks1 Δ-1 CYE. Similar results were seen with CYE from W. dermatitidis strains 8656 and wdpks1 Δ-1.
