Comparison of Innovative Molecular Approaches and Standard Spore Assays for Assessment of Surface Cleanliness

A bacterial spore assay and a molecular DNA microarray method were compared for their ability to assess relative cleanliness in the context of bacterial abundance and diversity on spacecraft surfaces. Colony counts derived from the NASA standard spore assay were extremely low for spacecraft surfaces...
