Abstract

We have been studying the useful life-support system in closed bio-ecosystem for production of space food. We have already proposed the several species as food material, cyanobacterium and Japanese cherry tree. The cyanobacterium, Nostoc sp Hk-01, has high tolerances to several space environment. The woody plant materials also have useful utilization elements in our habitation environment and as food material. We have already found their abilities of production of the important functional substances for human. Here, we show their several value, as space foods
