Application of nitrogen metabolism in autotrophic bacteria to chemosynthetic bioregeneration in space missions, supplement [PDF]
The chemolithotroph, Hydrogenomonas eutropha, was considered as a life support, bioregenerative system. This project focuses on several metabolic functions that are related to the proposed nitrogen cycle between man and this microbe.

Design concepts for bioreactors in space [PDF]
Microbial food sources are becoming viable and more efficient alternatives to conventional food sources, especially in the context of closed ecological life support systems (CELSS) in space habitats. Two bioreactor design concepts presented represent two

The potential of far-red light-acclimating cyanobacteria to support sustainable outposts on Mars
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesBackgroundLong-duration crewed missions on the Moon and Mars rely on support technologies based on locally available resources. Rock-weathering cyanobacteria are key enablers to transform minerals, carbon dioxide and urine (from crew waste) into biomass ...

How Should Life Support Be Modeled and Simulated? [PDF]
Why do most space life support research groups build and investigate large models for systems simulation? The need for them seems accepted, but are we asking the right questions and solving the real problems?

PLANT GROWTH IN MICROGRAVITY FOR BLSS: GENERAL ISSUES AND THE ITALIAN CONTRIBUTION
Annales Kinesiologiae, 2015 Plants are among key organisms in Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSSs) in Space because they have a role in the regeneration of resources and in the psychological support of the crew.
