The influence of spaceflight and simulated microgravity on bacterial motility and chemotaxis
Abstract As interest in space exploration rises, there is a growing need to quantify the impact of microgravity on the growth, survival, and adaptation of microorganisms, including those responsible for astronaut illness. Motility is a key microbial behavior that plays important roles in nutrient as...
