[The protective role of pigments against UV rays in fungi isolated from the mesosphere].

Mikrobiologiia - 1 Jan 2000

Lysenko S V, Liakh S P

Abstract excerpt

Five among six species of microorganisms isolated from the mesosphere contained pigments which made them more resistant to the action of UV as compared to pigmentless microorganisms in the atmosphere of Earth. UV irradiation in the atmosphere is supposed to select resistant pigmented forms, so that they predominate in the mesosphere. To confirm this assumption, mutants of Aspergillus niger, Penicillium notatum...
