Scientists have infected bacteria with a virus aboard the International Space Station to see how they would interact in ...

The laboratories of the International Space Station (ISS) offer a unique observation ground for the evolution of microbes. A ...

When scientists sent bacteria-infecting viruses to the International Space Station, the microbes did not behave the same way ...

Scientists found that the space station phages gradually accumulated specific mutations that boosted their infectivity, or ...

In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...

Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...

Biologists have made a major breakthrough by using artificial intelligence to design the complete genetic blueprint of a virus that destroys a killer bacterium. The AI-created virus, named Evo-Φ2147, ...

The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most unique environments where life has ever existed, out in the low ...

In space, bacteriophages mutate in ways not seen on Earth, making them more effective at killing drug-resistant bacteria.

Far from Earth's gravitational pull, a simple viral infection took on a new evolutionary direction. A study conducted aboard the ISS found that when bacteria and ...
