抄録（英）
Microbiology researches in Space are, as it were, researches for life support to protect astronauts from all of the problems caused by microorganisms. during long duration space expeditions. The living environment in International Space Station (ISS) has been progressively contaminated by microorganisms from the beginning of construction. Various microorganisms have been isolated from on board ISS and they have been brought with commodities, crew members themselves, and so on. So it is impossible to prevent bringing microorganisms into spacecrafts, and absolutely necessary to take some countermeasures against microbial contamination. We have developed the methods and procedures for periodic and long-term microbial sampling from not only the environment but also from flight crew members on board. Environmental monitoring in JEM has been started and on board body sample collection from flight crew members has been scheduled to begin from February of 2010. We will analyze these samples to perform the risk assessment and management during stays aboard the ISS. And also, we are promoting space flight experiments of microorganisms using recovery satellites and extending cooperation to international efforts to establish research communities of Microbiology in Space.
