Adaptation of the black yeast Wangiella dermatitidis to ionizing radiation: molecular and cellular mechanisms.
Observations of enhanced growth of melanized fungi under low-dose ionizing radiation in the laboratory and in the damaged Chernobyl nuclear reactor suggest they have adapted the ability to survive or even benefit from exposure to ionizing radiation. However, the cellular and molecular mechanism of f...
