The experiment will examine the effect of microgravity on the Microbiota in the gut. It will also examine the effect of antibiotics on the Microbiota in microgravity. In other words, we are going to examine the changes the bacteria will undergo, and from that we will conclude as to the functioning of the Microbiota in space vis-à-vis antibiotics, in an effort to streamline Microbiota transplants in Earth and in space.
