AMMPER-2 improves upon its predecessor by simulating redox dye dynamics and reactive oxygen species, enhancing microbial radiobiology modeling for space research.

This study modifies a computational model to simulate microbial growth in microgravity, finding that reduced gravity-driven flow decreases growth while lack of sedimentation increases it.

This study evaluates 33 spore proteins for enzyme display on Bacillus subtilis spores, identifies SscA as the most effective carrier, and highlights challenges in predicting fusion compatibility.

This study improves natural transformation in Bacillus subtilis for genome and spore engineering by optimizing induction systems and culture conditions, achieving higher transformation efficiency and multiplex spore display.

This paper develops an in situ spectroscopy system for real-time measurement of microbial growth and metabolic activity in simulated microgravity.

This study improves landomycin production in Streptomyces cyanogenus using spectrophotometric methods and characterizes their antimicrobial and anticancer activities.

AMMPER simulates the effects of proton radiation on yeast growth, reproducing growth rate changes but not lag time, and predicts future radiation responses.

The paper uses phylogenomic analysis of 189 Methylobacterium genomes to reveal four evolutionary groups and identify 45 candidate species, highlighting phyllosphere diversity and an ancient transition to plant association.
