Bacteria incubated with bacteriophages in space accumulated distinct mutations compared to those on Earth, highlighting the ...

Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International Space Station to evaluate how mutations induced by microgravity may impact ...

Space-based experiments show that microgravity-induced mutations in bacteriophages may improve their ability to target ...

In a new study, scientists analyzed how a biological battle played out between a strain of E. coli and a T7 bacteriophage, ...

Bacteria need mutations -- changes in their DNA code -- to survive under difficult circumstances. When necessary, they can even mutate at different speeds. This is shown in a recent study by the ...

Weightlessness has the potential to enhance a regular virus and increase its ability to kill stubborn bacteria. In an ...
