For the first time, a soil-isolated indigenous salt-tolerant Pseudomonas stutzeri SGM-1 mediated one-pot synthesis of extracellular eumelanin is reported using only l -DOPA as the substrate. Biophysical characterizations of the eumelanin were performed using UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, TGA, FESEM-EDS, DLS, a...
