As part of a series of studies regarding the microbiota in manned space environments, we isolated the fungal strains from nasal and pharyngeal smears and saliva of 21 astronauts preflight, in-flight, and postflight. On the ground, 120 strains from 43 genera of environmental fungi were isolated from the astronauts. The dominant fungal genera were Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus. Only 18 strains from four genera were isolated from the astronauts inside the International Space Station. These fungi are currently thought to be harmless, but regular screening and cleaning are necessary to prevent fungus-related health disorders.
作为载人航天环境中微生物组研究的一部分,我们从 21 名宇航员的飞行前、飞行中和飞行后的鼻腔和咽拭子以及唾液中分离出真菌菌株。在地面上,我们从宇航员身上分离出了 120 株来自 43 个属的环境真菌。优势真菌属包括:枝孢菌属、青霉属和曲霉属。从国际空间站的宇航员身上仅分离出了来自四个属的 18 株真菌。这些真菌目前被认为是无害的,但需要定期筛查和清洁,以防止与真菌相关的健康问题。
