As NASA's effort to establish a permanent residence in space continues, research on the effects of microgravity onbiological microorganisms is vital to protect or promote the health of plants and their astronaut counterparts. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of microgravity on Pantoea agglomerans (P. agglomerans), using an analog microgravity simulator; the Rotary Cell Culture System (RCCS) developed at Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, TX. P. agglomerans has been shown to be a plant growth promoter (PGPR) in ground based studies, but has also been shown to be a pathogen in both plants and immunocompromised patients. In this study, we will determine changes in the growth rate and antibiotic susceptibility of P. agglomerans when exposed to simulated microgravity.
