Extremophile organisms: Deinococcus radiodurans. Science blog 121

The bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans has recently shown to be able to survive radiation and temperature fluctuations in outer space during an experiment carried out in the Japanese Kibo module of the international Space Station. According to the researchers, D. radiodurans has a great capacity to repair the damage caused by radiation in the DNA chain as a means of survival.
