Phage-Bacteria Interactions in Space
Phages are viruses that infect bacteria. Phages are the most abundant living entity on the planet. The basic goal of our project is to understand how radiation and microgravity in space impact interactions between phages and bacteria. Our long-term goal is to understand and customize microbiomes for space travel.
