jsc2025e015699 (3/6/2025) --- The SOPHONSTER team with the bioreactor used to grow Chlorella sp. in ground studies. The SOPHie’s ON hamSTER (SOPHONSTER) investigation aims to cultivate microalgae (Chlorella sp.) in a space environment to study growth, protein content, and cell wall rigidity under microgravity conditions. Results could elucidate ways to improve plant-based, protein-rich alternatives to meat and dairy. Image courtesy of Sophie’s BioNutrients.
