Water Microbiology: Water samples were collected from the Mir and processed using the Water Microbiology Kit. The kit contained a microbial capture device through which a water sample volume was processed. An ampoule containing nutrient growth medium was introduced into the microbial capture device to cultivate any microorganisms trapped on the filter. Unprocessed water samples were collected using the Water Sampler/Archiver. These archived samples and the processed water sample filters were returned for ground-based examination.
