Comparison of Bacillus subtilis transcriptome profiles from two separate missions to the International Space Station

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The human spaceflight environment is notable for the unique factor of microgravity, which exerts numerous physiologic effects on macroscopic organisms, but how this environment may affect single-celled microbes is less clear. In an effort to understand how the microbial transcriptome responds to the unique environment of spaceflight, the model Gram-positive bacteriumBacillus subtiliswas flown on two...
