Investigation of simulated microgravity effects on Streptococcus mutans physiology and global gene expression
Microbiology: Cavities-causing bacteria altered by space-like conditions The gene expression patterns, metabolism and physiology of tooth cavities-causing microbes change in a space-like gravity environment. These findings could help explain why astronauts are at a greater risk for dental diseases w...
