Bacterial cellulose could enable microbial life on Mars: Research team studies kombucha cultures under simulated extraterrestrial conditions
An international research team including the University of Göttingen has investigated the chances of survival of kombucha cultures under Mars-like conditions. Kombucha is known as a drink, sometimes called tea fungus or mushroom tea, which is produced by fermenting sugared tea using kombucha cultures — a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. Although the simulated […]
