Niallia tiangongensis was discovered on China 's Tiangong space station.

It is microscopic and rod-shaped, can create spores, and may have evolved to survive hundreds of miles above our planet's surface.

It possesses the ability to hydrolyze gelatin (break down this protein into smaller components) in a unique way, allowing the protein to be consumed in nutrient-poor environments.
