Resumo

À medida que a humanidade se aventura mais profundamente no cosmos, o campo da astromicologia, que estuda os efeitos das condições espaciais nos fungos, está a ganhar cada vez mais importância. Os fungos, com a sua notável adaptabilidade e capacidade de prosperar em ambientes extremos, detêm um imenso potencial para a exploração espacial. Em Macau, uma região administrativa especial da China, o Laboratório Estatal de Ciências Lunares e Planetárias (SKLPlanets) emergiu como pioneiro na investigação em astromicologia. O grupo de investigação em astrobiologia do laboratório está dedicado a compreender os efeitos das condições espaciais nos fungos e a desenvolver novas tecnologias para utilizar fungos na exploração espacial. Parte da investigação deste grupo inclui a recolha de amostras de análogos terrestres, a realização de experiências de exposição com parâmetros simulados do espaço, e a triagem de processos e estirpes fúngicas para potenciais aplicações na exploração espacial. As contribuições de Macau para a astromicologia estão a abrir caminho para descobertas revolucionárias e avanços tecnológicos que irão moldar o futuro da exploração espacial.
