Adaptive thermogenesis and fermentation as survival strategies of vegetative cells of Bacillus subtilis under simulated Martian stressors

<title>Abstract</title> Microbial responses to Mars‑analog environments are key to understanding the limits of life and improving life‑detection strategies. Here, we investigated the survival and physiological adaptation of <italic>Bacillus subtilis</italic> exposed for five sols...

Synthesis of mineral-organic hybrid materials under dynamic prebiotic conditions

Abstract The increasing of molecular complexity must be understood as a planetary phenomenon where prebiotic chemistry and geological settings converge. In this scene, HCN chemistry may have played a crucial role. In this study, we demonstrate that alkaline water aerosols, cyanid...
