On the growth dynamics of the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7938 in Martian regolith
we show that, while maintaining cyanobacteria and regolith in a single compartment can make the design of cultivation processes challenging, preventing direct physical contact between cells and grains [...] grains may reduce growth. Overall, we hope for the knowledge gained here to support both the design of cultivation hardware and the modeling of cyanobacterium growth within. © The Authors, https://doi.org/10
