The adaptation of Escherichia coli cells grown in simulated microgravity for an extended period is both phenotypic and genomic
Evolution: Bacteria gain advantageous mutations under simulated microgravity Bacteria grown for an extended period of time under simulated microgravity adopt growth advantages. George Fox and colleagues from the University of Houston, Texas, USA, cultured Escherichia coli bacteria for 1000 generatio...
