Predicting Fungal Contaminants for Space Missions Using Proteome-Wide Screening for Protein Orthologs
2026-08-25
Abstract excerpt
Fungal contamination poses a growing threat to spacecraft integrity, crew health, and planetary protection efforts. We describe a scalable and interpretable pipeline for identifying fungi with adaptation potential to spaceflight-associated stress conditions such as extreme temperatures, radiation levels, etc., and pathogenicity risks. Starting with proteins known to confer stress resistance, we identify orthologs...
