Near‐infrared confocal imaging reveals the spatial organisation of far‐red photosynthesis in Shark Bay microbial mats and Halomicronema sp.

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Far‐red light (FRL) cyanobacteria occupy spectrally filtered habitats where visible wavelengths are depleted but far‐red radiation persists. Shark Bay (Western Australia) stromatolitic microbial mats provide such a habitat, containing subsurface cyanobacterial communities in which chlorophyll d/f (Chl d/f)‐containing phototrophs coexist with ...

Photochemical effects of Mars‐like UV irradiation on carboxylic acids in carbonaceous chondrites and expectations for abiotic background organics on Mars

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In the search for life on Mars, understanding the origin of preserved organics is critical. Expected sources include exogenous delivery, endogenous synthesis, and potentially life. Environmental processing by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can alter these organics, obscuring hallmarks of their origin. To deconvolve these effects, we conducted an

Philosophical Aspects of Astrobiology Revisited

Philosophies, 2021
Given the idea that Life as we know it is nothing but a special form of a generically underlying dynamical structure within the physical Universe, we try to introduce a concept of Life that is not only derived from first principles of fundamental physics,
