Resilient microorganisms in dust samples of the International Space Station—survival of the adaptation specialists

1 Dec 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The International Space Station (ISS) represents a unique biotope for the human crew but also for introduced microorganisms. Microbes experience selective pressures such as microgravity, desiccation, poor nutrient-availability due to cleaning, and an increased radiation level. We hypothesized that the microbial community inside the ISS is modified by adapting to these stresses. For this reason, we...
