The effects of combined environmental factors on the intestinal flora of mice based on ground simulation experiments

Abstract The composition and function of intestinal microbial communities are important for human health. However, these intestinal floras are sensitive to changes in the environment. Adverse changes to intestinal flora can affect the health of astronauts, resulting in difficulties in implementing s...
