Microbes to Colonize Mars First - Ep 14


Listen Later

In this month's episode, we explore the significance of space colonization beyond Earth with Microbes first with Dr. Jose Lopez, a Molecular and Evolutionary biology Researcher at Nova South Eastern. The discussion includes perspective shifts from exploration and sterilization to colonization, fostering symbiosis and diversity of early microbial settlers and the symbiosis of nanotechnology and microbes to adapt and improve anaerobic properties, photosynthesis, and metabolisms of microbes, bacteria, and fungi in improving biological support capacity of Martian regolith. 

The dialogue includes simulating and testing optimal microbes including Gaian microbiomes, spore formers, extremophiles, cyanobacteria under Martian conditions to enhance nutrient uptake in the soil, and better condition the atmosphere of Mars. We discuss further researcher to enable Interplanetary Microbiome Engineering (IME) and the core technologies enabling early microbial settlements such as DNA sequencers, artificial microbial genomes, rife machines, underground sunken electrodes, as well as nanopore sequencers to match DNA electric currents and frequencies
