Schematic of project design. A E. coli REL606 strains were grown in High Aspect Ratio Vessels (HARV) on Rotating Wall Vessels (RWV) for simulated microgravity (SµG) and rotating (R) control in addition to immobile static (S) control. Each growth condition was assayed in glucose-limited (DM25) and glucose-replete (DM2000) media. B In a short-term culture study, the growth analysis of SµG, R, and S cultures in both media types was conducted. C Also in this short-term study, samples were collected at time of inoculation (T0), at 4.5 h post inoculation in DM25 and 6.5 h post inoculation in DM2000 (T1), and 24 h post inoculation (T2) for each condition for RNAseq and differential gene expression analysis. D In a follow-on long-term culture study, samples were passaged each day for 28 days. Samples from every 7th day of culture were subjected to whole genome sequencing to assay the genomic alterations for each growth condition. Created with BioRender.com -- BMC Microbiology

Measured mineralogy (in terms of olivine-to-pyroxene ratio; ol/(ol+opx)) of 15 asteroids from the Massalia family (retrieved from a total of 21 individual spectra), compared to the mineralogy of ordinary chondrites (H, L, LL types) from RELAB. Average values are indicated at the top for each S-type family (families marked with an asterisk had their largest member removed before computing the average). Measurements of (20) Massalia are indicated in the plot (X). While this body lays between the peaks of the H-chondrite and L-chondrite distributions, other family members are clearly compatible with L chondrites. -- astro-ph.EP
