Performed inside International Space Station (ISS) from 2011 to 2016, VIABLE (eValuatIon And monitoring of microBiofiLms insidE International Space Station) ISS was a long-lasting experiment aimed at evaluating the bacterial contamination on different surface space materials subjected to different pre-treatment, to provide useful information for future space missions. In this work, surfaces samples of the VIABLE ISS experiment were analyzed to determine both the total bacterial load (ATP-metry, qPCR) and the composition of the microbial communities (16S rRNA genes amplicon sequencing). Data obtained showed a low bacterial contamination of all the surfaces, with values in agreement with those allowed inside ISS, and with a taxonomic composition similar to those found in previous studies (Enterobacteriales, Bacillales, Lactobacillales and Actinomycetales). No pre-treatment or material effect were observed on both the bacterial load and the composition of the communities, but for both a slight effect of the position (expose/not expose to air) was observed. In conclusion, under the conditions used for VIABLE ISS, no material or pre-treatment seems to be better than others in terms of quantity and type of bacterial contamination.

Abstract
Performed inside International Space Station (ISS) from 2011 to 2016, VIABLE (eValuatIon And monitoring of microBiofiLms insidE International Space Station) ISS was a long-lasting experiment aimed at evaluating the bacterial contamination on different surface space materials subjected to different pre-treatment, to provide useful information for future space missions. In this work, surfaces samples of the VIABLE ISS experiment were analyzed to determine both the total bacterial load (ATP-metry, qPCR) and the composition of the microbial communities (16S rRNA genes amplicon sequencing). Data obtained showed a low bacterial contamination of all the surfaces, with values in agreement with those allowed inside ISS, and with a taxonomic composition similar to those found in previous studies (Enterobacteriales, Bacillales, Lactobacillales and Actinomycetales). No pre-treatment or material effect were observed on both the bacterial load and the composition of the communities, but for both a slight effect of the position (expose/not expose to air) was observed. In conclusion, under the conditions used for VIABLE ISS, no material or pre-treatment seems to be better than others in terms of quantity and type of bacterial contamination.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
