Microbial adaptation and biological effects in the spaceflight environment

|
By Liancheng Wu, Marta Filipa Simões, Xinran Xu
| Taylor & Francis Online
ABSTRACT With the advancement of space exploration, space microbiology has become an important research area. Microorganisms show remarkable adaptive plasticity under extreme space environments. Space‑derived strains not only pose potential biosafety risks but also serve as valuable biotechnological resources. This review focuses on microbial phenotypic alterations, including colony morphology, biofilm formation, secondary metabolism, pathogenicity, and antibiotic resistance.
