Background: According to the reports about the increasing antibiotic resistance and resistance to environmental stresses of microbes in outer space. This research investigates the potential effects of space conditions on the growth rate, survival, and stress resistance of probiotic bacteria native to Iran.
Methods: Probiotics of Lactobacillus (L.) acidophilus, Lactiplantibacillus (L.) plantarum, and Saccharomyces (S.) cerevisiae were launched and recovered in Iran's newest biological capsule named Kavos at a height of 1300 km from the sea level. Growth of microorganisms and resistance to osmotic, acid, and temperature shock, as well as antibiotic resistance, were measured and compared with controls.
Findings: The results showed that the launch stress increased the growth rate and decreased the lag phase duration in lactobacilli. The optimum growth temperature and tolerance against acid shock did not change in probiotics before and after launch. The osmotic shock tolerance in L. plantarum increased significantly in the samples after the launch, but in L. acidophilus and the yeast did not change. Except for the increase in L. acidophilus resistance to gentamicin and amoxicillin and L. plantarum to ampicillin and doxycycline in launch samples, no change was observed in other antibiotics.
Conclusion: The results showed that the probiotic strains are fast-growing and resistant to environmental. Therefore, probiotics consumption can be necessary several times more to maintain the health of space travelers than life on Earth. These probiotics are also recommended to improve the quality of human life on Earth.
