Genomic Characterization of the Titan-like Cell Producing Naganishia tulchinskyi, the First Novel Eukaryote Isolated from the International Space Station
Link to the paper: https://www.mdpi.com/2309-608X/8/2/165 Multiple strains of a novel yeast, Naganishia tulchinskyi, were isolated from the International Space Station (ISS) exhibiting Titan cell-like morphology under simulated microgravity and 5% CO2 conditions. These ISS strains showed distinct morphological differences compared to Earth gravity-grown cells, including larger size, thicker cell walls, altered intracellular morphology, and modifications […]
