#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.

I fly fish a lot, but oftentimes not really trying to catch fish. I drive a lot for my kids sports activities, but fish and hike locally. I like beer a lot, but I am a scientist and educator in Philadelphia area. #FlyFishing #Tenkara #Fish #Pescatarian #Creeks #Stream #Hiking #Mountains #Desert #Yeast #Pombe #Beer #Ukulele #Cycling #Science #Cancer #Aging I write about streams...as part of my journal...
