Microbes in space!

In the last episode of Microbial Mondays, we covered what happens to our immune systems during space flight… but what about the microbes we bring with us?

This month, join us in exploring how flying into space can impact microbial life from earth!

Main publication discussed:

Wilson et al., Space flight alters bacterial gene expression and virulence and reveals a role for global regulator Hfq, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 104 (41) 16299-16304, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0707155104 (2007).
