Magnetic properties of geraisites, the first tektite strewn field identified in Brazil

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1163-1178, July 2026.
Abstract Geraisites are a newly recognized class of tektite from Brazil. They occur as centimeter‐sized, elongated to subspherical bodies scattered across surface gravel and shallow subsurface layers within a ~90‐km‐long strewn field extending between the municipalities of São João do Paraíso and Curral de Dentro, near the border between the states of ...

A New Record for Microbial Perchlorate Tolerance: Fungal Growth in NaClO4 Brines and its Implications for Putative Life on Mars

open access: yesLife, 2020
The habitability of Mars is strongly dependent on the availability of liquid water, which is essential for life as we know it. One of the few places where liquid water might be found on Mars is in liquid perchlorate brines that could form via ...

Investigating the Composition and Metabolic Potential of Microbial Communities in Chocolate Pots Hot Springs

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Iron (Fe) redox-based metabolisms likely supported life on early Earth and may support life on other Fe-rich rocky planets such as Mars. Modern systems that support active Fe redox cycling such as Chocolate Pots (CP) hot springs provide insight into how ...

The minimum energy required to build a cell

open access: yesScientific Reports
Understanding the energy requirements for cell synthesis accurately and comprehensively has been a longstanding challenge. We introduce a computational model that estimates the minimum energy necessary to build any cell from its constituent parts.

Perchlorates on Mars enhance the bacteriocidal effects of UV light

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Perchlorates have been identified on the surface of Mars. This has prompted speculation of what their influence would be on habitability. We show that when irradiated with a simulated Martian UV flux, perchlorates become bacteriocidal.

The microbial ferrous wheel in a neutral pH groundwater seep

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Evidence for microbial Fe redox cycling was documented in a circumneutral pH groundwater seep near Bloomington, Indiana. Geochemical and microbiological analyses were conducted at two sites, a semi-consolidated microbial mat and a floating puffball ...

Terrestrial atmosphere, water and astrobiology

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2010
Primitive life, defined as a chemical system capable to transfer its molecular information via self-replication and also capable to evolve, originated about 4 billion years ago from the processing of organic molecules by liquid water.
