Space biology and biotechnology
Biofilm Experiment
Purpose:
Investigation of the effect of space flight factors on the bacterial biofilming.
Task:
Study of the effect of space flight factors on the stability of bacterial biofilms and structural features of biopolymer matrix after bacteria adaptation to space flight conditions.
Science Hardware Used:
- "Konstanta" kit;
- Thermostat TBU-V.
Used flight hardware:
- "Cryogen-03" refrigerator.
Expected results:
Investigations of bacterial biofilms obtained both in microgravity and ground conditions could identify a number of insufficiently studied phases and regularities in filming mechanism.
The data will be accepted as a basis for developing new antibacterial drugs and new disinfectants for surface treatment of the manned space modules.
Experiment results:
The experiment results are bacterial biofilms in "Konstanta" kit.
