Herrera-Jordan K, Pennington P, Zea L
Microorganisms . 2024 Feb; 12(2). PMID: 38399797
Bacterial growth and behavior have been studied in microgravity in the past, but little focus has been directed to cell size despite its impact on a myriad of processes, including...

Flores P, Luo J, Mueller D, Muecklich F, Zea L
Biofilm . 2024 Feb; 7:100182. PMID: 38370151
Microorganisms' natural ability to live as organized multicellular communities - also known as biofilms - provides them with unique survival advantages. For instance, bacterial biofilms are protected against environmental stresses...

Sharma G, Zee P, Zea L, Curtis P
BMC Genomics . 2023 Dec; 24(1):782. PMID: 38102595
In microgravity, bacteria undergo intriguing physiological adaptations. There have been few attempts to assess global bacterial physiological responses to microgravity, with most studies only focusing on a handful of individual...

Flores P, McBride S, Galazka J, Varanasi K, Zea L
NPJ Microgravity . 2023 Aug; 9(1):66. PMID: 37587131
The undesirable, yet inevitable, presence of bacterial biofilms in spacecraft poses a risk to the proper functioning of systems and to astronauts' health. To mitigate the risks that arise from...

Hupka M, Kedia R, Schauer R, Shepard B, Granados-Presa M, Vande Hei M, et al.
Life (Basel) . 2023 Apr; 13(4). PMID: 37109532
Fungi biofilms have been found growing on spacecraft surfaces such as windows, piping, cables, etc. The contamination of these surfaces with fungi, although undesirable, is highly difficult to avoid. While...

Allen L, Kalani A, Estante F, Rosengren A, Stodieck L, Klaus D, et al.
Life (Basel) . 2022 Sep; 12(9). PMID: 36143436
Bacterial behavior has been studied under microgravity conditions, but very little is known about it under lunar and Martian gravitational regimes. An Earth-based approach was designed and implemented using inclined...

Santomartino R, Zea L, Cockell C
Extremophiles . 2022 Jan; 26(1):7. PMID: 34993644
As we aim to expand human presence in space, we need to find viable approaches to achieve independence from terrestrial resources. Space biomining of the Moon, Mars and asteroids has...
