Phototrophic Biomanufacturing Under the Influence of Space Environment Factors
Abstract
In this proposal, the Washington University team will study alternative feedstock utilizations under special space conditions, leveraging recent B-SURE space research (Biomanufacturing- Survival, Utility, and Reliability beyond Earth) supported by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). Specifically, the WashU team has examined various microbial feedstocks, including CO2, regolith, simulated wastewater from space stations, and plastics. This proposal will further explore microbial biomanufacturing under the influence of space environment conditions, including extreme temperature fluctuations, low pressure cultivation, and microgravity conditions.
