Cultivation in long-term simulated microgravity is detrimental to pyocyanin production and subsequent biofilm formation ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa .

when cultivated in microgravity. These bacteria are opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised individuals. Previous studies of space travelers have shown some immune system diminutions. Hence, our studies shed some light on how prolonged cultivation of bacteria in simulated microgravity conditions affect their growth characteristics.
