Everyone who cares about health in terms of real and early care of him, know perfectly well that by themselves represents Kombucha (Japanese mushroom) or in Japanese – “kombucha”. However, ESA scientists sending this unique to the ISS living organism capable of creating a tasteful healing drink, guided by no means the task of maintaining health Astronaut Orbital Station.
Their goal was to test how this fungal organism in outer space, that is, on the outer side of the ISS. This experiment – part of a European space study multicellular film survival agencies higher Earth’s atmosphere. ESA scientists conduct similar experiments in space is not the first year. This time from multicellular films was Kombucha was chosen, and not by chance.
First, it attracted researchers to this body that its the biofilm is visible even with the naked eye. Secondly, in earthly Kombuch’s labs have demonstrated amazing vitality, creating for its protection against extreme temperatures and radiation various cellulose-based structures. Scientists have suggested that biofilms can survive even in outer space. And if so, then perhaps biological life in the universe is not only carried over microbes, but also more complex structures (fungal microorganisms). This should now confirm or deny experiment with Kombucha, which was allowed to “walk” in space.
Perhaps it is the unique vitality of Kombucha that allows to him to perform real miracles in the human body, to strengthen medicinal properties of other drugs, for example, herbal infusions and much more. About all this, you will help to watch videos in which scientists talk about the amazing properties of Japanese mushroom. True, these are completely different researchers, far from outer space, but who doesn’t know now that besides space there is also a microcosm, which can be observed even in the drop (if you, of course, have electron microscope) a magical drink created by tea mushroom. And perhaps this microcosm is for us where more important…
