About this work
jsc2025e015700 (3/6/2025) --- The SOPHONSTER team assessing the growth of Chlorella sp. microalgae in a laboratory. The SOPHie’s ON hamSTER (SOPHONSTER) investigation aims to cultivate microalgae (Chlorella sp.) in a space environment to study growth, protein content, and cell wall rigidity under microgravity conditions. Results could elucidate ways to improve plant-based, protein-rich alternatives to meat and dairy. Image courtesy of Sophie’s BioNutrients.
