Earth's bacteria are evolving to survive in space. Several strains sourced from the International Space Station (ISS) differed from the same strains on Earth, having qualities specifically adapted to ...

Bacterial cells have lots of interesting abilities. They can easily share genes with one another and evolve; they can pass a kind of memory onto offspring; and they can change and adapt in a variety ...
