Desiccated cyanobacteria serve as efficient plasmid DNA carrier in space flight

A. Kakouridis, S. Diamond, T. Eng, H. J. Mills, O. Gamez-Holzhaus, M. L. Summers, F. Garcia-Pichel, A. Mukhopadhyay

The paper demonstrates that desiccated cyanobacteria can safely transport plasmid DNA to and from space without cryogenic storage, preserving DNA integrity for use in synthetic biology.
