Bridging the gap between microbial limits and extremes in space: space microbial biotechnology in the next 15 years

Charles S. Cockell

Summary: The establishment of a permanent human settlement in space is a ambitious goal, but it requires technological modifications to microbes to make them more tolerant of various extraterrestrial extremes. The challenge for space microbial biotechnology in the coming decades is to systematically identify the necessary genes and incorporate them into microbial systems for bioindustrial processes.

Exploiting a perchlorate-tolerant desert cyanobacterium to support bacterial growth for in situ resource utilization on Mars

Daniela Billi et al.

Summary: The study found that Chroococcidopsis has a strong tolerance to high perchlorate concentrations and can successfully support the growth of heterotrophic bacteria, making it suitable for use in ISRU technologies. This opens up new possibilities for in-situ resource utilization in a Mars environment.

Review of research into bioregenerative life support system(s) which can support humans living in space

Hong Liu et al.

Summary: Significant achievements have been made in exploring the application of Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSS) in deep space, but further research is needed to address the challenges of BLSS in space environments. Future research will focus on conducting experiments on lunar probes to study the mechanisms of small unmanned closed ecosystem in space and the impact of space environmental conditions on the ecosystem.
