Remember the scifi movie Andromeda Strain about a space bug?

Some of us vividly recall problems the Russians had with runaway strains of mold aboard their 15-year old space station Mur. In the end the mold not only interfered with the electronics but began growing on metal, plastic and glass parts. The problem got so severe we believe it was one of the main reasons Mur was abandoned and allowed to crash into the ocean in 2001.
