Evidence Quote

Noticeable effects on the growth kinetics, spores, mycelia formation and morphogenic switches have been noted in the fungal pathogen under (modelled) microgravity or spaceflight conditions

Relationship

Altered fungal growth kinetics and morphology in microgravity alters Random budding in fungi under spaceflight
