Biotechnological research on ISS Russian Segment
Experiment Astrovaktsina
Objective:
The study of effects of space flight environments on the process of cultivating in zero gravity an E.Coli producer of the
Caf1 Yersenia pestis antigen protein.
Task:
Obtaining data on the effects of zero gravity on the biosynthesis, secretion and biological properties of the E.Coli producer of
genetically engineered antigen protein Caf1.
Science Hardware Used :
- Bioekologia case (2 pcs.)
Expected Results:
The obtained data will be used for obtaining high-purity Caf1
proteins under ground conditions.
Experiment Results:
Returned to Earth are Bioekologia cases and photographic materials taken during the experiment.
