A recent study conducted by the Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne, Germany, examined the impact of simulated microgravity on the gut microbiome. The study involved 12 participants who underwent a 60-day head-down tilt bed rest at the envihab facilities. The researchers found that over the course of the simulation, there were mild changes in the gut microbiome, with distinct microbial patterns and pathway expression in the feces of the countermeasure group compared to the microgravity simulation-only group. The study suggests that monitoring the gut microbiome and metabolite dynamics can provide valuable insights into health disturbances and the effectiveness of countermeasure protocols for future space missions.
