Hi m an architect, i have been working in the design of a bio laboratory aimed to study how to colonize outer space, i made an academic document about how a Bryosphere can feed a Biosphere with multiple species, the focus is tolerate our extinction. Hello Asgardia admins, i wish you could delete this post, thanks. Link to video and PDF https://comingplanet.com/2016/07/03/post-apocalyptic-architecture/

@CLemmons: As for now you can prevent mutation only if bacteria, when it will divide, will copy 100% of it's DNA. And also such bacteria can't respond and adapt to new conditions, otherwise there will be possibility for mutation. So, such organisms will survive only in strict conditions, that's may be good, but also very vulnerable to malfunctions.

Given the short life of organisms, they are great to use as studies for generational mutations. That being said, if we were to harvest microbes for use in everything from waste refinement to ...well just about anything...what happens when we accidentally create a superbug? MRSA and VRE are perfect examples of this. Sure, those 2 are both harmful to humans, as well as deadly, but what happens when S. epidermidus becomes something virulent because of radiation or a handful of other things we do not know about. You could argue that the ISS has not had any super weird pathogens since they have been running, nor had Mir or Tiangong, but how many people are/were on any of those facilities at any one time? As I said in another post, epigenetics might be the key. I think we need to find some way to lock bacteria in such a way as to not be able to mutate. Last thing I need is some strain of bug to leave waste management and become my new friend.
