MIT engineers have developed a method to make microbes more resilient and able to withstand extreme conditions. The researchers mixed bacteria with food and drug additives classified as "generally regarded as safe" by the FDA. They found formulations that stabilized different types of microbes, including yeast and bacteria, allowing them to withstand high temperatures, radiation, and industrial processing. The researchers are now analyzing how well the microbes were able to withstand conditions on the International Space Station. This research has broad applications in space missions, human health, and agriculture. [Extracted from the article] |
