Space flight alters bacterial gene expression and virulence and reveals a role for global regulator Hfq
27 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
A comprehensive analysis of both the molecular genetic and phenotypic responses of any organism to the space flight environment has never been accomplished because of significant technological and logistical hurdles. Moreover, the effects of space flight on microbial pathogenicity and associated infectious disease risks have not been studied. The bacterial pathogen Salmonella typhimurium was grown aboard Space...
