Both Colletotrichum and Magnaporthe spp. develop appressoria pigmented with melanin, which is essential for fungal pathogenicity. 1,8-Dihydroxynaphthalene (1,8-DHN) is believed to be polymerized to yield melanin around the appresorial cell wall through the oxidative activity of laccases. However, no 1,8-DHN

Chain lengths and cyclization patterns of microbial polyketides are generally determined by polyketide synthases alone. Fungal polyketide melanins are often derived from a pentaketide 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene, and pentaketide synthases are used for synthesis of the upstream pentaketide precursor, 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene (1,3,6,8-THN).
