Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the effects of microgravity on colony growth and the morphological transition from single cells to short invasive filaments in the model eukaryotic organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two-dimensional spreading of the yeast colonies grown on semi-solid agar medium was reduced under microgravity in the Sigma1278b laboratory strain but not in the CMBSESA1 industrial strain. This was supported by the Sigma1278b proteome map under microgravity conditions, which revealed upregulation of proteins linked to anaerobic conditions. The Sigma1278b strain showed a reduced invasive growth in the center of the yeast colony. Bud scar distribution was slightly affected, with a switch toward more random budding. Together, microgravity conditions disturb spatially programmed budding patterns and generate strain-dependent growth differences in yeast colonies on semi-solid medium. Key Words: Microgravity-Saccharomyces cerevisiae-Adhesion-Invasive growth-Budding-Proteomics. Astrobiology 11, 45-55.
