The Microbe That Could Protect Humans from Space Radiation🌌 🦠
A recent study reveals how Deinococcus radiodurans (nicknamed "Conan the Bacterium") survives radiation doses up to 5,000 times higher than lethal levels for humans. Researchers discovered that the combination of manganese ions, phosphate, and peptides forms a powerful antioxidant that enhances the bacterium's resistance. This finding could lead to innovative solutions for protecting humans from radiation in space exploration and radiological emergencies.
