Abstract
The phenomenon of hormesis in different types of microsfungi, arising by the action of low doses of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation (λ=173 nm), was studied. An increase in survival probability (SP) have had all microfungi types: Cladosporium herbarum - SP= 215% at W= 0.23 mJ/cm2, Pseudogymnoascus pannorum - SP= 130% at W= 0.13 mJ/cm2 and Rhodotorula colostri - SP= 140% at W=0.005 mW/cm2. The difference in irradiation doses at which the maximum of SP is recorded can be associated with the fact, that Cladosporium herbarum and Pseudogymnoascus pannorum are filamentous fungi, and Rhodotorula colostri has a yeast form. A smaller increase of SP value in Pseudogymnoascus pannorum and a shift in the position of the peaks to lower doses compared to Cladosporium herbarum, may be due to the fact that these types of spores have different pigmentation: carotene and melanin respectively. The observed survival probability increase may be due to growth of microscopic fungi number, that form colonies under the influence of VUV radiation.
