New Bacteria Have Been Discovered on a Chinese Space Station

Is microscopic And in the form of a stick, you can create spores and develop to live hundreds of miles from our surface of our planet. This bacterium has never been found on the earth, not visible on earth Tiangong Space Station. Was named Niallia tiangongensisAnd live in the control of the station in a micronol.

According to Chinese Central Television, the country’s national broadcaster, taikonauts (Chinese astronauts) SWAB samples were collected from the Space Station in May 2023 and were sent back to the Earth for research. The purpose of this work was to explore the behavior of microorganisms, with a human staff, a man of the living area of ​​the Chinese space station Microbiome program (CHAMP) was a completely sealed environment with a human staff.

A disposable paper Microbiology magazine of systemic and evolution How did the samples from the space station revealed the previously invisible bacterial species and explained the belonging to sex Nit. Genomical sequence showed that the nearest surface relative is bacteria Niallia circusesThere are significantly genetic differences in Tiangong types.

Niallia tiangongensis Demonstrates structural and functional changes, stated in a space station. A unique way that protein is consumed in food and weak environments has a unique manner (small components of this protein) Hydrolizz (this protein is divided into small components). In addition, these bacteria can create protective biofilm, activate oxidative stress responses and promote repair in the face of radiation damage. “This helps the paper that helps them survive in the space environment.

The bacteria of sex Nit A form like a stick, a thick cell wall, is characterized by the ability to create an external membrane and create endospores that ensure that they live in negative conditions. Niallia circusesFor example, until the environment is favorable, it is expanding its genetic material in a highly protected cell.

It is unknown whether the newly discovered microbe is developed at the space station or is part of the extensive sea of ​​microorganisms that are not yet yet clear. So far, tens of thousands of bacteria are cataloged It is estimated that the billions are more Unclassified species on earth.

Discover Niallia tiangongensis The next generation will better understand the microscopic threats to face the next generation, and will help sanitary protocols for extensive missions. Tiangong’s Tiangong’u Tiangong’s Tiangong’u Tiangong’u Tiangong’u Tiangong’u Tiangong’u Tiangong’u Tiangong’u Tiangong’u Tiangong’u Tiangong is still very early to determine if it is known to be relative. Niallia circusesespecially immunocompromised people can cause a sepsuit.
