The invention relates to methods for producing melanin and melanin precursors, derivatives, and intermediates. In particular, recombinant microorganisms are disclosed that express tyrosinases to produce 5,6-DHI and express UGT polypeptides capable of either in vivo or in vitro glycosylation of melanin precursors, derivatives, and intermediates. Glycosylated 5,6-DHI is produced both in vivo and in vitro.
