Phages shape microbial ecosystems on Earth—but what about in space? In our new study, we show that microgravity aboard the International Space Station reshapes phage–bacteria interactions, evolution, and fitness—with surprising benefits for targeting resistant pathogens on Earth. Great work @phil_huss @chuchitboonthav @RhScientific journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
