Dangerous salad

Salad grown on board the International Space Station (ISS) alongside other vegetables can be dangerous when consumed. This conclusion was reached by American scientists from the University of Delaware. The study was conducted using a device called a clinostat, which allows for the simulation of weightlessness conditions for plant organisms. According to the researchers, microgravity on the ISS makes plants more vulnerable to pathogens inhabiting the station. Among them are dangerous microbes, including salmonella and E. coli.
