Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology‐related research

open access: yesmLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 473-493, October 2025.
Abstract Electroautotrophy—the use of extracellular electrons as the primary energy source for autotrophic metabolism—remains understudied compared to photoautotrophy and chemoautotrophy. Its occurrence in deep‐earth and deep‐sea environments suggests profound implications for astrobiology, yet electroautotrophic microorganisms remain poorly explored ...

An Unexpected Facet of Extremophiles: Their Aesthetic Potential in Artistic Expression

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
In an era marked by environmental challenges and the proliferation of misinformation, the fusion of art and science is a strategy to promote public understanding and appreciation of complex scientific phenomena. We illustrate how the use of extremophiles offers novel avenues for artistic exploration and emphasise the benefits of such interdisciplinary ...
