Schultz J, Jamil T, Sengupta P, Sivabalan SKM, Rawat A, Patel N, Krishnamurthi S, Alam I, Singh NK, Raman K, Rosado AS, Venkateswaran K.Genomic insights into novel extremotolerant bacteria isolated from the NASA Phoenix mission spacecraft assembly cleanrooms.Microbiome. 2025 May 12;13(1):117.Note: From the abstract: “Human-designed oligotrophic environments, such as cleanrooms, harbor unique microbial communities shaped by selective pressures like temperature, humidity, nutrient availability, cleaning reagents, and radiation. Maintaining the biological cleanliness of NASA’s mission-associated cleanrooms, where spacecraft are assembled and tested, is critical for planetary protection. Even with stringent controls such as regulated airflow, temperature management, and rigorous cleaning, resilient microorganisms can persist in these environments, posing potential risks for space missions.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
