NASA Spaceline Current Awareness List #702 10 June 2016 (Space Life Science Research Results)
Editor’s note: NASA’s various life sciences programs have prepared the SPACELINE Current Awareness updates since 1999 covering all aspects of space life science, gravitational biology, space medicine, and human factors. NASA does not maintain a website – nor does it have an archive of this resource online. However, SpaceRef does have a complete archive of SPACELINE updates all the way back to 1999
that can be accessed here: http://www.spaceref.com/news/mission.html?mid=188&pag

Microbial succession in an inflated lunar/Mars analog habitat during a 30-day human occupation.
Microbiome. 2016 Jun 2;4(1):22.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27250991
PI: K. Venkateswaran
Note: Students at the University of North Dakota designed and developed an advanced inflatable habitat that can be adapted for use on surfaces of the Moon and Mars. Students occupied the analog habitat for two different periods of time (10 and 30 days) and cataloged microbial succession during a 30-day human occupation.
