Abstract
A genetically modified microorganism for enhancing melanin production efficiency is provided. The genetically modified microorganism for enhancing melanin production efficiency includes a first exogenous nucleic acid and a second exogenous nucleic acid. The first exogenous nucleic acid includes a nucleic acid encoding a secreted L-amino acid ligase, wherein secreted L-amino acid ligase is capable of linking two amino acids to form a dipeptide. The second exogenous nucleic acid includes a nucleic acid encoding tyrosinase.
