"Bacterial Farming: Transforming the Moon into a Lunar Colony's Food Source"

Scientists have discovered that bacteria can improve the fertility of lunar soil, potentially enabling humans to live on the Moon. By combining three different bacteria with lunar soil, researchers were able to enhance the growth of a tobacco plant relative called benth. The bacteria increased the amount of phosphorus in the soil, a crucial nutrient for plant growth. This breakthrough could pave the way for sustainable agriculture in future lunar bases, but caution is advised as introducing bacteria to alien soil may pose a threat to human crews.
