Biological Treatment of a Synthetic Space Missions Wastewater Using a Kombucha-Bioreactor

2025-10-17

Abstract excerpt

Efficient water recycling is imperative for the sustainable presence of humans during long-duration and deep-space missions, where resupply from Earth is not a viable option. This study proposes a kombucha-based photobioreactor (Kombucha-PBR) as a novel biological approach for the treatment of wastewater generated in space habitats. Kombucha, a symbiotic microbial consortium of bacteria and yeasts, produces bacter...
