Antarctic microfungi as models for exobiology
Planetary and Space Science, 2004Abstract Microfungi living in different Antarctic environments are generally well adapted to high stress conditions such as low temperatures, wide thermal fluctuations, high UV irradiance, and low water and nutrients availability; for this reason they could be investigated in order to explore limits of microbial life.

Exobiology: An Example of Interdisciplinarity at Work
2011Exobiology is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the origins of life on Earth, its evolution and its possible distribution elsewhere in the Universe. This new field appeared around the 1960s, generated by NASA’s Apollo missions. Since then it has experienced a very rapid expansion, far beyond its original purpose, due to new spatial missions ...

Exobiology and Planetary Protection of icy moons
Space Science Reviews, 2010The outer solar system is an important area of investigation for exobiology, the study of life in the universe. Several moons of the outer planets involve processes and structures comparable to those thought to have played an important role in the emergence of life on Earth, such as the formation and exchange of organic materials between different ...

Exobiology: Results of spaceflight missions
Advances in Space Research, 1989Abstract Experiments are reviewed which were carried out on a number of balloon, rocket, and spacecraft missions and which have shown that inactivation of bare bacterial spores by solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) is, at most, a matter of a few minutes only.
