I've seen pictures where you could see this __27__ caused by bacteria or basically an accumulation of fungus behind wet towels."So as we set our sights on Mars, what might grow in the spacecraft—__28__ a human-scale petri dish—during the year-and-a-half-long flight?
The Mars500 habitat in Moscow simulated that trip, with six crew members __29 __ inside. And Schwendner and her team tested microbial __30__ of the habitat over time. They found what you might expect: a lot of human-related bacteria and fungi, mostly at levels deemed safe for life in space. But they also noticed a __31__ in microbial diversity over time—which could indicate a less-than-healthy microbial community that's potentially more __32__ to takeover by hostile bacteria."Seeing this decrease basically is for us an important point or proof that __33__ monitoring is an important fact and is really required to basically maintain or be able to maintain a healthy environment."
