Abstract in brief

This study focuses on the black yeast Exophiala dermatitidis, which can survive extreme conditions, and explores the energy costs of producing its protective pigments, melanins and carotenoids.
A new genome-based model called iEde2091 was developed to better understand the yeast's metabolism, revealing that carotenoids are more metabolically expensive to produce than melanins, which has implications for their protective roles.
The research also highlights that E. dermatitidis makes the same types of melanins as humans, and this conserved process could help us better understand melanin production across different organisms, with potential human health applications.]
