An unknown bacteria on Earth has developed in Chinese space station: Astronauts are facing a situation straight out of a science fiction movie. An unknown bacterium, never before seen on our planet, has been discovered in the Chinese space station Tiangong. This discovery, worthy of science-fiction scenarios, raises new questions about life in orbit and microbiological risks.

Scientists discovered a new strain of bacteria, Niallia tiangongensis, on China's Tiangong space station. This bacteria, previously unknown on Earth, was found on internal surfaces of the station after swabs were collected by taikonauts (Chinese astronauts) and analyzed. The research suggests the bacteria has adapted to survive in space, it exhibiting unique characteristics like resilience to radiation and oxidative stress...So how?.
