A black fungus, known as Cladosporium sphaerospermum, has been found not just surviving but seemingly thriving in extreme radiation in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
This microorganism appears to “feed” on radiation, much like plants use sunlight in photosynthesis.
The key to this fungus’s survival lies in melanin, the same pigment responsible for human skin color.
The discovery has led to speculation about its potential role in bioremediation.
