Title
Live Worms Found Amid STS-107 Debris
Full Description
NASA Project Manager Fred Ahmay holds a Biological Research in
Canisters (BRIC) container in which C. elegans nemotodes (round
worms) were found. The container was part of a middeck
experiment that was among Columbia's debris recovered in East
Texas. The worms were found alive after flying on Columbia's
last mission, STS-107. The experiment was designed to verify a
new synthetic nutrient solution for an International Space
Station "model" specimen planned to be used extensively for ISS
gene expression studies and was sponsored by the NASA Ames
Research Center.
