#ZARM scientists have identified the #cyanobacterium strain Anabaena sp. PCC 7938 as a highly promising one for a life support system on #Mars 🔴. Fed with a simulant of Martian dust and atmosphere, the selected strain demostrated its ability to produce oxygen and form biomass, which could serve the production of food 🥔, fuels, drugs 💊 and other materials https://www.zarm.uni-bremen.de/en/in-focus/space-exploration
