The effects of melatonin (MT) on heavy-metal induced oxidative stress in Exophiala pisciphila. E. pisciphila were pretreated with 0, 50.0, 100.0, or 200.0 μM MT for 1 d and then subjected to 111.2 mg L− 1 Cd2+ (A, E), 100.0 mg L− 1 Cu2+ (B, F), 1010.0 mg L− 1 Zn2+ (C, G), or 800.0 mg L− 1 Pb2+ (D, H) stress for 2 d. The MDA (A-D) and OFR (E-H) concentrations in E. pisciphila were measured. Data are means ± SD (n = 4). Columns with different letters denote significant difference at P < 0.05 according to Duncan’s multiple range test
