Dottorato di ricerca in Evoluzione biologica e biochimicaCryptoendolithic microbial communities and epilithic lichens have been considered as appropriate candidates for the scenario of Lithopanspermia, which proposes a natural interplanetary exchange of organisms by means of rocks that have been impact ejected from their planet of origin. So far, the hardiness of these terrestrial organisms in the severe and hostile conditions of space has not been tested over extended periods of time. A first long-term (1.5 years) exposure experiment in space was performed with a variety of rock-colonizing eukaryotic organism at the International Space Station on board of the European EXPOSE-E facility. Organisms were selected that were especially a...
