Space Environmental Factor Impacts upon Murine Colon Microbiota and Mucosal Homeostasis.

Space Environmental Factor Impacts upon Murine Colon Microbiota and Mucosal Homeostasis.

Astronaut intestinal health may be impacted by microgravity, radiation, and diet. The aim of this study was to characterize how high and low linear energy transfer (LET) radiation, microgravity, and elevated dietary iron affect colon microbiota (determined by 16S rDNA pyrosequencing) and colon funct...
