Article Synopsis
- The Brazilian savannas, vital for biodiversity, face risks due to mining activities, prompting research into soil recovery methods using biosolids.
- Experiments have shown that using biosolids can significantly improve soil health, leading to a 41.7% recovery of the microbial community in degraded areas.
- The study highlights that while microbiota composition in restored soils differs from untreated and native soils, biosolid application plays a crucial role in enhancing diversity and carbon storage capacity.
Draft Genome Sequences of Spacecraft-Associated Microbes Isolated from Six NASA Missions.

March 2023
Whole-genome sequencing can be used to better understand and assess the functional abilities of microorganisms isolated from spacecraft hardware and associated surfaces for planetary protection (PP) purposes. We sequenced 191 isolates from 6 spaceflight missions with PP requirements and identified them using Illumina-based sequencing methods and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry.
