Abstract

Space simulation experiments were performed in preparation of the experiment "Spores in artificial meteorites" (SPORES). Spores of the fungi Penicillium italicum and Trichoderma koningii as well as different fern species were able to some extent to survive UV radiation (254 nm), vacuum and extreme temperature conditions. Single-spore cultures of T. koningii showed an altered DNA pattern after UV radiation and storage under vacuum indicating mutations.
