Scientists at Marshall Space Center in Huntsville , Alabama , study solutions to combat fast-growing colonies of bacteria or fungi, known as biofilm, for future space missions.

NASA tasked engineers and chemists at Marshall to study mitigation techniques.

The team published the complete genome sequence of several strains of bacteria isolated from the International Space Station's water reclamation system in June 2023 .

They hope to progress to flight tests, experimenting with various mitigation methods in real microgravity conditions in orbit to find solutions to keep surfaces clean, water potable, and future explorers healthy.
