Imagine taking synthetic biology to space? In 2011, the Brown-Stanford iGEM team did just that, designing a synthetic-biology based Mars colony. At the center of the concept was PowerCell, a consortium of a photosynthetic, diazotrophic (nitrogen-fixing) cyanobacterium engineered to secrete sucrose, and a "production cell".
