Microbiological investigations of spacesuits' surfaces before and after extravehicular activities were performed as a part of space experiment TEST. The purpose was to determine the numbers, composition, biochemical properties of isolated microbes, and locations with exceeded bacterial and fungal populations. We identified markers for pathogenicity in spore-forming bacteria and some peculiar features of organic acid production by fungi with different levels of carbohydrates.
