Spaceflight Shifts in Community rRNA Copy Number in the Salivary Microbiome of Astronauts

2024-06-12

Abstract excerpt

The oral microbiome is stable, easily sampled, and can indicate disease. Using metagenomic data from GeneLab, I examined the effects of spaceflight on the human salivary microbiome using a composite community measure, average rRNA copy number. A higher copy number is associated with a faster growth rate and primary microbial succession. I found a significant increase in community weighted mean copy number between...
