Europa: Prospects for an ocean and exobiological implications [PDF]
As far as we know, Earth is the only planet in our solar system that supports life. It is natural, therefore, that our understanding of life as a planetary phenomenon is based upon Earth-like planets.

Fundamental Molecules of Life are Pigments which Arose and Evolved to Dissipate the Solar Spectrum
, 2014 The driving force behind the origin and evolution of life has been the thermodynamic imperative of increasing the entropy production of the biosphere through increasing the global solar photon dissipation rate.

A phylogenetic approach to the early evolution of autotrophy: the case of the reverse TCA and the reductive acetyl-CoA pathways [PDF]
, 2014 In recent decades, a number of hypotheses on the autotrophic origin of life have been presented. These proposals invoke the emergence of reaction networks leading from CO or CO2 to the organic molecules required for life.

Autotrophy in iron-oxidizing, acidophilic bacteria [PDF]
Gram positive, moderately thermophilic, acidophilic bacteria which can oxidize mineral sulphides are likely to be used industrially in mineral processing. In comparison with the Gram negative Thiobacillus ferrooxidans which is currently used commercially, the best- characterized moderate thermophiles were shown to require enhanced concentrations of CO2

Comparative biochemistry of CO2 fixation and the evolution of autotrophy.
International microbiology : the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology, 1999 Carbon dioxide fixation is a polyphyletic trait that has evolved in widely separated prokaryotic branches. The three principal CO2-assimilation pathways are (i) the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, i.e. the Calvin-Benson cycle; (ii) the reductive citric acid (or Arnon) cycle; and (iii) the net synthesis of acetyl-CoA from CO/CO2, or Wood pathway ...
