| Abstract | The optical fluorescence properties of an Antarctic fungus have been investigated in order to evaluate its potential use as bioindicator of the ultraviolet irradiation stress occurring as a consequence of the ozone layer depletion. The spore suspensions show three main fluorescence bands, with maxima around 345, 430 and 510 nm, undergoing to substantial changes after UV-B and UV-C irradiation. The contribution of both the electron-proton transferring molecules in the respiratory chain and the carotenoids to the fluorescence emission is discussed. |
