Abstract Space biotechnology is a nascent field aimed at applying tools of modern biology to
advance our goals in space exploration. These advances rely on our ability to exploit in situ …

During space missions, the impact of the space conditions (both microgravity and radiation)
on physiologic and metabolic aspects of the microbiota of astronauts' bodies should be …

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome encodes a Flo (flocculin) adhesin family
responsible for cell–cell and cell–surface adherence. In commonly used laboratory strains …

Fungi have been companions of mankind for millennia. Mushrooms inspired our eating
culture, and yeasts and filamentous fungi were developed into highly efficient cell factories …

This study investigates the effects of microgravity on colony growth and the morphological
transition from single cells to short invasive filaments in the model eukaryotic organism …

Abstract Aims: S‐adenosyl‐l‐methionine (SAM) is an important biochemical molecule with
great potential in the pharmacological and chemotherapeutic fields. In this study, our aims …

Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has broad genetic homology to human cells.
Although typically grown as 1-2mm diameter colonies under certain conditions yeast can …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an eukaryotic model organism that has been used for space
biology research. Microgravity is a tool to study yeast mechanobiology by removing the …

Humans and yeast have traveled together through a long history of terrestrial explorations
and will continue to do so as mankind explores space. Candida species of yeast accompany …

Manned spaceflight continues to be in the agenda of most of the countries involved in space
research. Development of human settlements in planets and sustainable space ecosystems …
