線虫（C.elegans）を用いる回収衛星宇宙実験研究班WG活動報告

摘要

C.elegans flight experiment using Chinese recovery satellite was carried out September 2006. This flight experiment was conducted by Chinese research team composed of researchers of Beihang university, and C.elegans samples recovered from space were shared with Chinese and Japanese research teams. There was no problem in survival of C.elegans and the population size of worms was increased 4-5 times during spaceflight. However we need environmental data of worms culture, especially temperature log both in-flight and in-transit for control experiment, and then we are now making a request for the monitoring log data to Chinese research team and proceeding with the preparations for analysis.%宇宙環境利用科学委員会研究班WG「線虫を用いる回収衛星宇宙実験」の研究活動のー環として行われた中国回収衛星を利用した宇宙実験サンプルシェァ研究の概要と、現在までの活動内容について報告する。
