1 00:00:04,789 --> 00:00:03,429 interplanetary travel has always 2 00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:04,799 interested people 3 00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:07,120 but still a little is known about impact 4 00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:09,280 of cosmic radiation on human and 5 00:00:14,070 --> 00:00:12,160 other organisms since we want to return 6 00:00:15,910 --> 00:00:14,080 to the moon and explore mars 7 00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:15,920 we have to think about protection of 8 00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:18,960 human body but also organisms which will 9 00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:20,640 help us survive in long 10 00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:24,160 journey hello to all participants 11 00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:26,240 my name is eva borowska and i'm 12 00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:28,240 representing university of warsaw 13 00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:30,800 with magdalena wabovska from roswell 14 00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:32,800 university of science and technology in 15 00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:33,440 poland 16 00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:35,920 today we would like to present red algae 17 00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:38,640 as a source of efficient photosynthesis 18 00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:40,719 under gamma radiation during space 19 00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:41,840 exploration 20 00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,389 in the picture from nasa you can see a 21 00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:52,239 different type of waves and 22 00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:55,360 radiation which is the most important 23 00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:58,480 for our existence 24 00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:01,760 on earth if we are 25 00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:04,640 talking about ultraviolet radiation 26 00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:05,600 x-rays 27 00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:09,119 and gamma waves including 28 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:12,240 ionizing radiation we wanted to use one 29 00:01:17,749 --> 00:01:13,600 of the most popular 30 00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:17,759 gamma waves which the source was 31 00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:26,710 in the filter we would like to present 32 00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:29,680 interaction of ionizing radiation with 33 00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:31,920 ionizing radiation depends on type of 34 00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:32,720 passing 35 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:35,040 through structural materials such as 36 00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:37,280 metal makes it brittle 37 00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:39,840 and can weaken the material if the 38 00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:40,880 radiation's 39 00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:43,600 intensity is great enough it can also 40 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:46,320 damage electronic equipment 41 00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:49,200 so we can distinguish few types of 42 00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:50,560 ionizing radiation 43 00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:53,920 it's alpha beta gamma and neutral 44 00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:54,799 particles 45 00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:58,079 which interact less ionize indirectly 46 00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,119 and penetrate further but as well as 47 00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:03,360 gamma radiation is a type of ionizing 48 00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:05,600 radiation that has an impact on cell 49 00:02:09,669 --> 00:02:06,399 structure 50 00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:09,679 like dna proteins lipids and membrane 51 00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,120 conformation 52 00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:13,599 when ionizing radiation interacts with 53 00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:14,400 cells 54 00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:20,160 the body can repair a cell 55 00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,360 however if many are damaged or die 56 00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:25,520 the body may not be able to replace the 57 00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:28,160 cells fast enough causing radiation 58 00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:29,120 poisoning 59 00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:33,599 and death before we present 60 00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:36,879 our organisms algae which are 61 00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:40,000 eukaryotic organisms we would like to 62 00:02:44,949 --> 00:02:42,800 show also prokaryotic organisms 63 00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:44,959 resistant 64 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:48,319 against ionizing radiation and 65 00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:51,680 uv radiation so the first one is 66 00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:54,160 diinococcus radiodurans with rapid dna 67 00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:54,879 repair 68 00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:58,080 mechanisms which were detected in 69 00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:01,920 atmosphere and has 70 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:05,040 the possibility to survive even 71 00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:08,159 after dose of 5 000 grays 72 00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:11,360 and one dose 15 000 grays 73 00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:14,239 still some bacteria can reproduce in 74 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:15,280 parallel 75 00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:18,560 uh human lethal doses it's 76 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,760 uh 10 000 milligrams and for escherichia 77 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:23,040 coli bacteria 78 00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:26,640 60 000 milligrams the second 79 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,760 organisms are cyanobacteria from driest 80 00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:31,280 place on earth 81 00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:34,319 and with high protective 82 00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:38,720 efficiency against high uv radiation 83 00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:41,599 so they called heroes idiopsis and 84 00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:43,040 producing specific 85 00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:46,080 pigments as staton psytonamine 86 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:54,390 in atacama desert unique dance matrix 87 00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:57,280 within the eps extracellular polymorphic 88 00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:58,560 substance 89 00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:01,439 and allow for surviving the clouds in 90 00:04:05,869 --> 00:04:02,560 the low temperature 91 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:05,879 harsh liquids and uv radiation so 92 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,360 grossitopsies 93 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:10,080 the unique cyanobacteria with high uv 94 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:12,000 resistance 95 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:15,599 can create the specific homes and 96 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:19,519 survive inside them still 97 00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:25,790 in space exploration we can 98 00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:26,960 differentiate 99 00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:30,400 a few types of rotation galactic cosmic 100 00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:33,280 radiation created during supernova solar 101 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,400 cosmic radiation 102 00:04:37,749 --> 00:04:36,720 primarily from solar wind and solar 103 00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:37,759 flares and 104 00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:41,440 the red lesion trapped in the vampires 105 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:42,560 around earth 106 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:45,199 and of course ultraviolet radiation 107 00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:47,680 earth's magmatic fields 108 00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:50,960 keeps our planet safe from most in 109 00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:53,520 ionizing radiation including galactic 110 00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:54,800 cosmic radiation and 111 00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:57,360 solar cosmic radiation but of course in 112 00:05:02,310 --> 00:04:58,320 outer space 113 00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:02,320 we are not protected so we would like to 114 00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:02,960 present 115 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:05,919 red microalgae of the order cyanidalis 116 00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:08,320 occur in various extreme environments 117 00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:09,600 mostly on volcanic 118 00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:12,000 areas such as yellowstone park atacama 119 00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:12,800 desert 120 00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:15,280 campivle grey in italy new zealand and 121 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,080 iceland 122 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:18,240 and of course many types many other 123 00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:19,680 types of 124 00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:22,320 volcanic grounds they are characterized 125 00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:23,440 by low ph 126 00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:25,840 high temperatures the presence of heavy 127 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:27,440 metals ions 128 00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:29,120 variable salinity and high 129 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:30,639 concentrations 130 00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:33,919 of carbon dioxide and sulfates these 131 00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,800 organisms 132 00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:36,560 are the link between primary 133 00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:39,199 cyanobacteria and the first primitive 134 00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:42,080 eukaryotic cells which were subjected to 135 00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:42,720 the harsh 136 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:46,000 conditions that privileged on 137 00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,400 earth during deformation of its 138 00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:50,639 atmosphere 139 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:53,280 what we have achieved in a laboratory or 140 00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:54,560 in laboratory on these 141 00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:58,240 organisms um it was adapted 142 00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:01,440 them to high 143 00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:03,759 ph with the same efficiency of 144 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:05,039 photosynthesis 145 00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:07,120 what means that they are very unique 146 00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:08,639 very highly adaptable 147 00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:11,120 and with a high photosynthesis 148 00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:12,639 efficiency 149 00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:16,479 what is more algae cells are without 150 00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:19,520 cell wall still they are highly 151 00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:20,400 resistance 152 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:23,680 against of their different harsh 153 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:30,710 in preliminary data we would like to pre 154 00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:34,560 present um the sounds of synergism 155 00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:36,960 but in the experiment we were tested 156 00:06:42,309 --> 00:06:39,360 also green algae coco mixer 157 00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:42,319 but this algae has not so efficient 158 00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:43,759 photosynthesis 159 00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:47,120 so we reject this 160 00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:50,240 strain before 161 00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:53,759 experiment culture were transferred to a 162 00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:56,400 right experimental cultural flask made 163 00:07:02,790 --> 00:06:58,400 of a polystyrene 164 00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:02,800 with liquid media conditions 165 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,360 and then transported immediately to 166 00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:07,520 institute of nuclear chemistry and 167 00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:09,680 technology in warsaw 168 00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:12,080 one place were unpacked and put in 169 00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:13,919 optimal growth conditions 170 00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:15,840 with light and temperature for 171 00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:18,080 activating the photosynthesis 172 00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:21,919 it was around 30 minutes 173 00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:24,960 time of exposure and given doses over 174 00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:26,800 addition in the mini grace 175 00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:29,039 were calculated on the basis of gamma 176 00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:31,759 radiation cobalt 6d source 177 00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:36,560 with power 0.2 353 178 00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:40,240 kilograms per hour with the last 179 00:07:47,070 --> 00:07:43,440 lethal dose for human 10 000 migrates 180 00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:48,390 2.29 181 00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:52,800 minutes after experiment 182 00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:56,080 axonic strain and nonoxenic strain 183 00:08:01,510 --> 00:07:58,960 were transported again at the university 184 00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:01,520 and tested every 24 hours on the 185 00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:03,680 spectroscopy uvvs 186 00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:08,400 uh in optical density 750 nanometers 187 00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:10,879 and then we can assess increase of cells 188 00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:13,759 density grafts for each strains 189 00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:18,560 were done and we can see and the growing 190 00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:21,759 of algae were increasing 191 00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:24,960 in further growth they were not affected 192 00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:29,039 by gamma radiation 193 00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:31,680 ionizing radiation can be destructive to 194 00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:32,560 cells 195 00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:35,519 so in specific conditions such a space 196 00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:37,279 they need to be prevented 197 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:39,680 from the exterior factors by protective 198 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:40,800 coatings 199 00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:42,880 gels and hydrogels are one of the 200 00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:43,919 solutions 201 00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:46,480 for growing and storing cells in a safe 202 00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:47,440 manner 203 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:50,240 but the tips present in these structures 204 00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:51,120 ensure that 205 00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:53,600 cells can grow and proliferate but they 206 00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:54,640 can also provide 207 00:08:58,389 --> 00:08:57,360 protection against accelerated atoms or 208 00:09:01,750 --> 00:08:58,399 particles from 209 00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:01,760 radiation reducing their energy 210 00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:04,720 one such adjective could be silica for 211 00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:06,560 example which has been 212 00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:08,720 investigated by many scientists to 213 00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:11,120 reduce the impact of radiation 214 00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:13,760 many researchers are also interested in 215 00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:15,600 hydrogel composites 216 00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:17,760 as potential radiation productive 217 00:09:21,670 --> 00:09:18,800 coating 218 00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:21,680 this material is lighter than metals and 219 00:09:25,269 --> 00:09:22,560 contains 220 00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:25,279 water in its structure providing not 221 00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:26,080 only a soft 222 00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:29,120 protective material for immobilized 223 00:09:36,350 --> 00:09:32,320 cells but also an etl environment 224 00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:36,360 for their further cultivation 225 00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:39,519 immobilization of cells can be realized 226 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:41,360 in several ways 227 00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:44,640 one of them is the creation of silicate 228 00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:45,120 gels 229 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:52,640 facility the silicate contained in the 230 00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:55,600 gel can protect the cells from the 231 00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:56,880 destructive impact 232 00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:00,560 of ionizing radiation and overalls 233 00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:04,320 additionally provides mechanisms we call 234 00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:06,000 protection against cell 235 00:10:11,910 --> 00:10:09,200 damage and the second method involves 236 00:10:13,509 --> 00:10:11,920 blending cells with an alginate solution 237 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:13,519 then cross-linking 238 00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:17,040 it in a calcium carbonate solution 239 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:20,160 in this way we are able to provide each 240 00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:20,800 cell 241 00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:23,839 with a protective alginate coating which 242 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:26,240 acquires its mechanical properties 243 00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:28,720 during the cross-linking process 244 00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:31,760 both methods allow the cells 245 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:35,360 to grow and proliferate safely providing 246 00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:35,760 them 247 00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:38,399 with the necessary components for 248 00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:39,279 survival 249 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:41,519 and at the same time removing the 250 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:42,320 metabolic 251 00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:47,750 for improved life support systems for 252 00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:50,000 astronauts we propose methods 253 00:10:55,269 --> 00:10:53,040 with unique composition of hydrogel and 254 00:10:57,110 --> 00:10:55,279 substances which can protect algae 255 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,120 against ionizing radiation 256 00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:59,200 and make them more efficient in auto 257 00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:00,240 production 258 00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:03,440 by using the 3d bio printer we can adapt 259 00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:06,560 hydrogel to different type of equipment 260 00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:09,760 and immobilized algae in very simple way 261 00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:13,200 as you can see on the picture we 262 00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:16,720 immobilized algae into specific 263 00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:19,760 hydrogel a further study 264 00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:22,000 are also connected to regeneration of 265 00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,040 body tissue 266 00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:25,519 by using secondary metabolites 267 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:26,640 encapsulated 268 00:11:36,949 --> 00:11:33,910 our algae has the possibilities 269 00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:36,959 also to create a biofilm on different 270 00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:37,760 structures 271 00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:41,040 like for example cellulose so it is also 272 00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:44,720 important if we would like to use um 273 00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:49,360 other type of materials to cover them by 274 00:11:53,110 --> 00:11:52,079 algae and still we are looking for 275 00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:53,120 collaborations
