Abstract: Abstract Melanin is an Aspergillus flavus cell wall component that provides chemical and physical protection to the organism. However, the molecular and biological mechanisms modulating melanin-mediated host–pathogen interaction in A. flavus keratitis are not well… read more here.

Abstract: Spores are small, usually unicellular reproductive units produced to propagate genetic material by prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes, including algae and protozoa, lower vascular plants, and even a subset of animals [1]. In prokaryotes, the endospores… read more here.
