Microgravity reshapes bacteriophage–host coevolution aboard the International Space Station
Phage-host interactions have a role shaping microbial ecosystems, but their behavior in microgravity remains largely unexplored. In this study, experiments aboard the ISS reveal distinct evolutionary adaptations in T7 bacteriophage and E. coli, revealing…
