Bacteria could survive the trip to Mars in the form of thick aggregates

Washington DC (UPI) Aug 26, 2020
If bacteria form thick enough aggregates - large populations of bacteria cells with multicellular structures - they could partially survive the long trip to Mars, according to a new study published Wednesday in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology. To better understand the resiliency of bacteria aggregates, researchers dried, or desiccated, different-sized aggregates of a radioresist
