Assessment of horizontal gene transfer activity under simulated microgravity

Acinetobacter pittii and Staphylococcus aureus, previously isolated from the International Space Station were co-cultured together in High Aspect Ratio Vessels, under simulated microgravity and 1G control conditions, to examine horizontal gene transfer activity

此前从国际空间站（International Space Station）分离得到的皮氏不动杆菌（Acinetobacter pittii）与金黄色葡萄球菌（Staphylococcus aureus），于高长宽比培养容器（High Aspect Ratio Vessels）中，分别在模拟微重力及1G对照条件下共培养，以考察其水平基因转移活性。
