Radiotrophic fungus

Radiotrophic fungi are fungi that can perform the biological process called radiosynthesis, which means using ionizing radiation as a main energy source to drive metabolization. It has been claimed that radiotrophic fungi have been found in extreme environments such as in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
