Viable microbial ecology and functional potential of the Integrated Lunar-Mars Analog Habitat revealed by multi-omics analyses

Long-duration human missions to the Moon and Mars will rely on closed, self-sustaining habitats where microorganisms inevitably interact with crew, materials, and life-support systems. While routine cleaning and environmental control can limit microbial growth, viable populations...

L-Glutamate production from nitrogen gas by co-culturing Corynebacterium glutamicum with Azotobacter vinelandii

Abstract Biological nitrogen fixation has attracted considerable attention as an alternative to Haber–Bosch-dependent fermentation processes and agricultural systems. Azotobacter vinelandii, a well-established model organism for aerobic nitrogen fixation, has been engineered to p...
