Biotechnological research on ISS Russian Segment
Experiment Bakteriofag
Objective:
Study of space flight factors effect on medical, diagnostic and genetic characteristics.
Tasks:
- Provision of the ground reproduction and the result of bacteriophages on sensitive cultures.
- Test of bacteriophages delivery and exposure conditions in a space flight.
- Investigation of biological and genetical characteristics of bacteriophages.
- Provision of the clone collection with heritable deviations in morphological characteristics.
- Production of strains with a new spectrum of lytic effect.
Science Hardware Used :
- Case Bioecologia;
- Thermostat Cryogem-03Ì.
Experiment Results:
Case Bioecologia to be returned to the ground.
Expected Results:
Bacteriophages with biological and physical and chemical characteristics changed will be used for medical and diagnostic purposes as well as for genetic investigations.
