Chemical Inactivation of Biological Agents
... for 10 to 30 min at different temperatures, then neutralized and enumerated the survivors. We evaluated inactivation in the presence of heavy soil loads; 50% egg yolk emulsion, whole milk and then a flour paste. I’m going to go briefly through a few of those results. We picked a product generally av ...

Rapid multiplication and bacterial showers into the blood result in toxic shock and rapid death of the host. ...

EXPOSE
EXPOSE is a multi-user facility mounted outside the International Space Station dedicated to astrobiology. EXPOSE was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) for long-term spaceflights and was designed to allow exposure of chemical and biological samples to outer space while recording data during exposure.The results will contribute to our understanding of photobiological processes in simulated radiation climates of planets (e.g. early Earth, early and present Mars, and the role of the ozone layer in protecting the biosphere from harmful UV-B radiation), as well as studies of the probabilities and limitations for life to be distributed beyond its planet of origin. EXPOSE data support long-term in situ studies of microbes in artificial meteorites, as well as of microbial communities from special ecological niches. Some EXPOSE experiments investigated to what extent particular terrestrial organisms are able to cope with extraterrestrial environmental conditions. Others tested how organic molecules react when subjected for a prolonged period of time to unfiltered solar light.
