Abstract
The topic of extra-terrestrial habitats for humans is becoming more and more relevant with progress in space technology. For developing human colonies on moon or other planets, processes should be focussed around the utilisation of in situ resources so as to minimise the need of intra-terrestrial transportation of desired resources. Here we discuss how microbes can lend themselves to in situ resource utilisation on the moon and Mars.
期刊介绍:
Started in 1914 as the second scientific journal to be published from India, the Journal of the Indian Institute of Science became a multidisciplinary reviews journal covering all disciplines of science, engineering and technology in 2007. Since then each issue is devoted to a specific topic of contemporary research interest and guest-edited by eminent researchers. Authors selected by the Guest Editor(s) and/or the Editorial Board are invited to submit their review articles; each issue is expected to serve as a state-of-the-art review of a topic from multiple viewpoints.
