In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...
Scientists found that the space station phages gradually accumulated specific mutations that boosted their infectivity, or ...
The International Space Station (ISS) is a closed ecosystem, and the biology inside it — including its microbial residents — ...
The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most unique environments where life has ever existed, out in the low ...
The rise of antibiotic resistance has renewed interest in bacteriophages as therapeutic alternatives. However, co-evolution of phage and bacteria will naturally give rise to phage-resistant pathogens, ...

Viruses that infect bacteria can still do their job in microgravity, but space changes the rules of the fight.
The viruses devise ploys to break into bacterial defenses. Bacteria, on the other hand, strengthen their defenses so that ...
