Rhodium Microbiome Isolates Sample Aboard The International Space Station

A view of the Rhodium Space Microbiome Isolates sample aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Characterization of Targeted Space Gut Microbiome Isolates to Advance Astronaut Gut-On-A-Chip Platform Development (Rhodium Space Microbiome Isolates) characterizes individual bacterial species from the human gut microbiome that change during spaceflight.

Research shows a connection between alterations in the gut microbiome and multiple chronic and acute diseases.
