Mathematical modeling predicts enhanced growth of X-ray irradiated pigmented fungi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ionizing radiation is known for its cytotoxic and mutagenic properties. However, recent evidence suggests that chronic sub-lethal irradiation stimulates the growth of melanin-pigmented (melanized) fungi, supporting the hypothesis that interactions ...
