A False Encounter: An Interspecies Martian Tale [PDF]
Pulse, 2021 This project concerns a fictional scenario in which an AI rover encounters an alien life form in the crevices of a Martian rock. The seconds in which this encounter takes place are mysteriously wiped out from the rover’s Pancam metadata. It is speculated

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 In the search for life on other planets, the presence of photosynthetic surface vegetation may be detectable from the colors of light it reflects. On the modern Earth, this spectral reflectance is characterized by a steep increase in reflectance between ...

Nucleomorph phylogenomics suggests a deep and ancient origin of cryptophyte plastids within Rhodophyta. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary The evolutionary origin of red algae‐derived complex plastids remains obscure. Cryptophyta, one of four eukaryotic lineages harboring these plastids, still contains nucleomorphs, which are highly reduced remnants of red algal nuclei. The genes present on nucleomorph genomes can be used for phylogenomic reconstruction in order to unravel the ...

Bacterial Metal Accumulation as a Strategy for Waste Recycling Management
Resources, 2023 Sustainable mechanisms for efficient and circular metal recycling have yet to be uncovered. In this study, the metal recycling potential of seven metal-resistant bacterial species (Deinococcus radiodurans, Deinococcus aerius, Bacillus coagulans ...

Présentation. Exobiologie, aspects historiques et épistémologiques
Cahiers François Viète, 2003 The definition of exobiology – the study of the origins, evolution and distribution of life in the universe, as well as of related structures and processes – raises the problem of the link between current and past studies on the origins of terrestrial ...

Microorganisms, 2020 The discovery of liquid water at several locations in the solar system raises the possibility that microbial life may have evolved outside Earth and as such could be accidently introduced into the Earth’s ecosystem.

Adaptations of endolithic communities to abrupt environmental changes in a hyper-arid desert
Scientific Reports, 2022 The adaptation mechanisms of microbial communities to natural perturbations remain unexplored, particularly in extreme environments. The extremophilic communities of halite (NaCl) nodules from the hyper-arid core of the Atacama Desert are self-sustained ...

“Freezing” Thermophiles: From One Temperature Extreme to Another
Microorganisms, 2022 New detections of thermophiles in psychrobiotic (i.e., bearing cold-tolerant life forms) marine and terrestrial habitats including Arctic marine sediments, Antarctic accretion ice, permafrost, and elsewhere are continually being reported.

How Can Linguistics Help to Structure a Multidisciplinary Neo Domain such as Exobiology?
BIO Web of Conferences, 2014 This chapter examines the contribution that corpus linguistics can make towards stabilising definitions within exobiology. By using the clues provided by natural language processing tools, linguists build an interpretation of contexts and try to show how
