Ionizing Radiation Changes the Electronic Properties of Melanin and Enhances the Growth of Melanized Fungi
BACKGROUND: Melanin pigments are ubiquitous in nature. Melanized microorganisms are often the dominating species in certain extreme environments, such as soils contaminated with radionuclides, suggesting that the presence of melanin is beneficial in their life cycle. We hypothesized that ionizing ra...
