Radioadapted Wangiella dermatitidis senses radiation in its environment in a melanin-dependent fashion.

Fungal biology - 1 May 2020

Malo Mackenzie E, Frank Connor, Dadachova Ekaterina

Abstract excerpt

Black fungi withstand extreme stresses partly due to the presence of melanin. Melanin is associated with structural integrity and resistance to chemical and radiation stress. This results in improved health and fitness, specifically in extreme conditions. Our goal was to exploit the radiation sensing nature of melanized fungus in order to develop a radioadapted strain capable of responding to radiation in the...
