SEM analysis of melanin particles produced by Curvularia soli AS21 ON076460 at different magnifications, 1000 and 500 X shown that melanin has average size 130–160 nm. SEM films revealed that crude melanin was free of cells and mycelium. EDX analysis revealed the elements constituents of melanin with their weight and atomic %. The most abundant elements are carbon and oxygen with weights of 66.32 and 25.57%, respectively
