#Chernobyl #Fungus Seems to Have
#Evolved an Incredible Ability
Clinging to walls of one of most
#radioactive buildings on Earth, scientists have found a strange black fungus curiously living its best life.
Fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing
#radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. Proposed mechanism is referred to as
#radiosynthesis.
