Exploring the Possibilities of a Fertile Lunar Soil: Scientists Find Bacteria in Lunar Regolith
A new study has revealed that bacteria found in lunar soil could be used to create a fertile environment for plants to grow. Scientists found that two types of bacteria, Streptococcus and Brevibacillus, could help to convert the lunar soil into a nutrient-rich medium suitable for plant growth. The bacteria could be used to create a biologically active environment by breaking down minerals and organic matter in the soil, making it more suitable for plants to grow. This could be a major breakthrough in establishing a lunar base, as it would provide a way for humans to grow their own food in space.
