A sustainable culture of tardigrades (Hypsibius dujardini) for astrobiological laboratory activities [PDF]
Tardigrades are microscopic organisms that have gained importance in astrobiology in recent years. They have extreme survival ability and can enter into a state of latency for several years called cryptobiosis.
