Fungi from Chernobyl : mycobiota of the inner regions of the containment structures of the damaged nuclear reactor

摘要: Extensive fungal growth has been detected on the walls and other building constructions in inner parts of Shelter damaged fourth Unit Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant 1997-98. The mycobiota comprised 37 species 19 genera. Zygomycetes ascomycetes were represented by one each: Mucor plumbeus Chaetomium globosum, respectively. Two mitosporic fungi commonly found Cladosporium sphaerospermum Penicillium hirsutum. Alternaria alternata, Aureobasidium pullulans, Aspergillus versicolor, Acremonium strictum, herbarum also encountered. ingelheimense, Phialophora melinii, Doratomyces stemonitis Sydowia polyspora isolated from are recorded Ukraine for first time. Comparison growing under both severe relatively weak radioactive contamination revealed a dominance melanin-containing heavily contaminated sites; biodiversity prevalence coefficients supported this.
