Resumo
As melaninas fúngicas são pigmentos presentes em diversas espécies de fungos, cujas
propriedades vêm sendo estudadas para serem aplicadas em diferentes usos do cotidiano. Esta
revisão bibliográfica apresenta inicialmente os quatro tipos de melaninas fúngicas já estudadas
até o momento (neuromelanina, feomelanina, piomelanina, eumelanina e alomelanina), além de
suas respectivas vias de síntese melanótica - é válido informar que as melaninas fúngicas
também podem ser sintetizadas em laboratório, o que proporciona maiores meios de aquisição
deste pigmento.
Neste artigo também são abordadas as diversas propriedades e aplicações das melaninas
fúngicas, a exemplificar: atividade radioprotetora, atividade quelante de metais pesados, caráter
termorregulador e antioxidante, entre outras características significantes. Também são citados
alguns dos setores industriais mais poluentes para o ecossistema global e a maneira com que as
melaninas fúngicas são capazes de tratar estes efluentes, consequentemente beneficiam o meio
ambiente. A aplicação destes pigmentos fúngicos no tratamento de efluentes industriais é um
assunto emergente e são abordados cinco tipos de grandes setores industriais que podem usufruir
dos benefícios da utilização das melaninas fúngicas: indústria petroquímica, indústria de
pesticidas, indústria têxtil, indústria metalúrgica e de mineração.

Fungal melanins are pigments present in several species of fungi, whose properties have been studied to be applied in different everyday uses. This literature review presents initially the four types of fungal melanins already studied so far (neuromelanin, feomelanin, piomelanin, eumelanin and alomelanin) and their respective melanotic synthesis pathways - it is valid to inform that fungal melanins can also be synthesized in the laboratory, which broads the means of acquisition of this pigment. This article also discusses the various applications of fungal melanins, to be exemplified: radioactive activity, heavy metal chelating activity, thermoregulatory and antioxidant character, among other significant characteristics. Some of the most polluting industrial sectors for the global ecosystem and the way fungal melanins are able to treat these effluents are also mentioned, consequently benefiting the environment. The application of these fungal pigments in the treatment of industrial effluents is an emerging subject and five types of large industrial sectors are addressed that can benefit from the use of fungal melanins: petrochemical industry, pesticide industry, textile industry, metallurgical and mining industry. For the elaboration of this literary review, the following search sites were used as: Google Scholar and PubMed.
