D. rad Bacteria: Candidate Astronauts
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Deinococcus radiodurans, or D. rad, are bacteria that can survive extreme radiation, temperatures, and dehydration in a lab. They can even repair their own DNA within 48 hours. These extremophiles are of interest to NASA because they might help human astronauts survive on other worlds. A recent map of D. rad's DNA could lead to new applications.
