L’exobiologie, l’imaginaire et le symbolique

Cahiers François Viète, 2003
This text puts forward the idea that the commentaries in natural language that necessarily accompany the experimental activities of exobiology (laboratory experiments, space missions, astronomical observations, etc.) inevitably belong to the novel.

Microbial Ecology of the Heterogeneous Terrestrial Deep Biosphere Over 4 years in the Deep Mine Microbial Observatory (DeMMO)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The deep continental subsurface hosts a large, diverse, and poorly characterized microbiome. The geochemistry and microbiology of deep subsurface sites are closely linked and influenced by geological, hydrological, and anthropogenic factors. The Deep Mine Microbial Observatory (DeMMO; Lead, SD) was established in 2015 to provide stable portals

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Microbial endolithic community at Meteor Crater

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 955-962, June 2026.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Microbially generated ferruginous crusts: A potential biosignature of continental input in coastal settings

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 1225-1243, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Thin ferruginous sandy crusts are common on top of sandstone beds in the Early Permian post‐glacial deposits of the Paraná Basin in southern Brazil. These crusts usually preserve wrinkle structures, suggesting that they might be a product of microbial mediation.

Microbially induced sedimentary structures in fluvial settings: the gas domes from the Bolzano Megacaldera (Permian, Italy)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 914-944, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gas domes serve as some of the earliest and most persisting indicators of life on Earth, yet their documentation in continental environments remains sparse. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining gas domes within the Permian fluvial succession of Monte Luco, located in the caldera of the Bolzano Supervolcano. These structures occur as

Nothing special in the specialist? Draft genome sequence of Cryomyces antarcticus, the most extremophilic fungus from Antarctica.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The draft genome of the Antarctic endemic fungus Cryomyces antarcticus is presented. This rock inhabiting, microcolonial fungus is extremely stress tolerant and it is a model organism for exobiology and studies on stress resistance in Eukaryots.
