It's not just space bricks Fifa 14 Ultimate Team Coins that could be created using syntheticbiology. Small bacteria boxes accompanying astronauts could containbillions of helpful microbes. Another key bacterium is Anabaena,which can exist in carbon dioxide and nitrogen-rich alienatmospheres. Anabaena can not only thrive in these conditions, butit converts those gases to sugars. By inserting a biobrick fromE.coli into Anabaena, the team increased its sugar output, whichcould then be used to feed other oil, plastics or fuel-buildingmicrobes brought along.
According to MRC Laboratory molecular biologist Paul Dear,synthetic biology will be the only way to building a life onMars.
Every gram delivered to Mars or other planets translates intohuge additional costs and energy demands. Biology rather thanphysical engineering is the only realistic way to do things on aplanetary scale, Dear said.
