Endospores of bacteria have a long history of use as model organisms in astrobiology, including survival in extreme environments and interplanetary transfer of life. Numerous other bacteria as well as archaea, lichens, fungi, algae and tiny animals (tardigrades, or water bears) are now being investigated for their tolerance to extreme conditions in simulated or real space environments. Experimental results from exposure studies on the International Space Station and space probes for up to 1.5 years are presented and discussed. Suggestions for extaterrestrial energy sources are also indicated"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aExobiology 606 $aExtreme environments$xMicrobiology 615 0$aExobiology. 615 0$aExtreme environments$xMicrobiology. 676 $a576.839 702 $aSeckbach$b Joseph 702 $aStan-Lotter$b Helga 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829860803321 996 $aExtremophiles as astrobiological models$93928189 997 $aUNINA
