The microbes they brought with them—and left behind—are the focus of a new collaborative research opportunity from NASA and the non-profit Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.” How does ultraviolet light kill cells? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-does-ultraviolet-ligh/ “Ultraviolet (UV) light kills cells by damaging their DNA. The light initiates a reaction between two molecules of thymine, one of the bases that make up DNA. The resulting thymine dimer is very stable, but repair of this kind of DNA damage--usually by excising or removing the two bases and filling in the gaps with new nucleotides--is fairly efficient.” Four-year bacterial monitoring in the International Space Station—Japanese Experiment Module “Kibo” with culture-independent approach http://www.nature.com/articles/npjmgrav20167 “We performed microbial monitoring in the Japanese Experiment Module “Kibo”, a part of the International Space Station, for 4 years after its completion, and analyzed samples with modern molecular microbiological techniques. Sampling was performed in September 2009, February 2011, and October 2012.” ____________________ DNews is dedicated to satisfying your curiosity and to bringing you mind-bending stories & perspectives you won't find anywhere else!

Why don't we shoot a ton of bacteria onto Mars or the Moon and see how they thrive on the surface?
-
Where are the humans, there are bacterias.That includes astronauts,lovers and other people.I'm not surprised at all.
-
What if we 'Humans' are the reason for taking Earthly-bacteria to space?
-
What is the temperature inside ISS?
-
Wharg! Too many puns and jokes. Seriously, they're funny, but very distracting for someone, who's not natively speaking english like myself.
Very interseting video nontheless. -
I find myself asking again, why dont we try seeding some of these earthlike planets with bacterial and fungal life. Maybe we are the only planet with life. If thats the case we could have a galaxy filled with life in 5 million years.
-
once we make artificial gravity on our spaceships (using centripetal force rotation in the design) most of our issues will be solved regarding space travel. muscle loss & exercise, showering (aka bacteria killing), plant growing, etc
-
Russians are cleaner then the American swine.
-
Suddenly space zombies feel more realistic
-
What was the joke he referenced
-
no clorox in space?
-
There are probably more bacteria on your facial hair than the entire known universe.
-
So bacteria thrive in space. Panspermia confirmed! The ice at the Moon's poles might be filled with this stuff! Be careful, mates!

fo u overacting bitch
-
Hey
Do you guy sell that NERD NASA T-shirt? -
i am a microbiologist , thanks for making this informative video.
-
First people in Mars gonna have glorious life there :D
-
you'd think that this was what the bacteria wanted all along. I mean, we're more bacteria than humans, so we're already a vessel. Just a vessel on a vessel.
-
From 200 CFU per cm^2 to 50x more in years doesn't sound that much...
-
How about we ask the bacteria nicely to not kill us?
