To support the study of the effects of microgravity on biological systems, our group is developing and testing methods that allow the cultivation of C. elegans and S. cerevisiae in microgravity. Our aim is to develop the experimental means by which investigators may conduct peer reviewed biological experiments with C. elegans or S. cerevisiae in microgravity. Our protocols are aimed at enabling investigators to grow these organisms for extended periods during which samples may be sub-cultured, collected, preserved, frozen, and/or returned to earth for analysis. Data presented include characterization of the growth phenotype of these organisms in liquid medium in OptiCells(TM) (Biocrystal, LTD).
为支持对微重力对生物系统影响的研究，我们团队正在开发和测试能够在微重力环境下培养秀丽隐杆线虫和酿酒酵母的方法。我们的目标是开发出实验手段，使研究人员能够在微重力环境下使用秀丽隐杆线虫或酿酒酵母进行经同行评审的生物学实验。我们的实验方案旨在让研究人员能够长时间培养这些生物体，在此期间可以进行传代培养、收集、保存、冷冻和/或将其带回地球进行分析。所展示的数据包括这些生物体在OptiCells(TM)（Biocrystal有限公司）液体培养基中的生长表型特征。
