MIT researchers have developed a new way to make microbes hardy enough to withstand extreme conditions.
Their method involves mixing bacteria with food and drug additives from a list of compounds that the FDA classifies as “generally regarded as safe’s materials list.
The researchers identified formulations that help to stabilize several different types of microbes, including yeast and bacteria.
These formulations could withstand high temperatures, radiation, and industrial processing that can damage unprotected microbes.
Strain strains of these extremophile microbes were sent to the International Space Station .
They were able to form symbiotic nodules on plant roots and convert nitrogen to ammonia.
E. coli Nissle 1917 was able to inhibit growth of Shigellaflexneri , one of the leading causes of diarrhea-associated deaths in low- and middle-income countries.
