Growth of the Radiotrophic Fungus <i>Cladosporium sphaerospermum</i> aboard the International Space Station and Effects of Ionizing Radiation

2020-07-17

Abstract excerpt

The greatest hazard for humans on deep-space exploration missions is radiation. To protect astronauts venturing out beyond Earth’s protective magnetosphere, advanced passive radiation protection is highly sought after. In search of innovative radiation-shields, biotechnology appeals with suitability for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), self-regeneration, and adaptability. Certain fungi thrive in high-radiati...
