1 Recap of Robot Sampling Hand, Wheels/Treads, and Soil/Water samples were taken to test for bacteria Incubated at 37 ºC for 2 days for microbial growth

2 Colony Forming Units (CFU) A measure of viable bacterial or fungal numbers A single bacterium can grow and become a colony

3 Contamination Accidental introduction of “foreign” material that can distort the results of an experiment Could the results show contamination? How could contamination occur?

4 Planetary Protection Preventing life from getting from one planet to another and causing harm Even with super clean spacecraft, some microbes will always get by

5 Ways to Prevent Contamination Sterile environment UV What else
