Abstract: 
Phytopathogenic bacteria of the Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Erwinia genera have been isolated from the cucumber seedlings which perished in space-flight conditions. The species Bacillus polymyxa Cohn 1872 turned out to be the most virulent.
Keywords: space biology experiments, space life sciences
