USED SCIENCE HARDWARE:
-
MSS Container 1
Thermal insulating container consisting of
3 numbered experimental bags (MSS Sample 1, 2,
3) and ice pack. Each numbered bag contains 2
Falcon tubes: one tube contains 2 capillaries
filled with solid bacterial culture, the other
one contains 2 microvials filled with liquid bacterial
culture;
- MSS Container 2
With 3 numbered experimental bags (MSS Sample
4, 5, 6). Identical to MSS Container 1;
- MSS Container A
Passive Container containing 8 Petri dishes with
solid bacterial culture and temperature data logger;

PURPOSE:
Investigation of the impact of space environmental
conditions on the microbial motility and genetic processes
(gene expression, mutation, DNA repair and rearrangements,
gene transfer, pathogenicity enhancement, etc…).
OBJECTIVE:
Growing a biological strain, Ralstonia metallidurans
CH34.
EXPERIMENT RESULTS:
