Die Frage nach dem Ursprung des Lebens gehört zu den größten wissenschaftlichen Rätseln unserer Zeit. Entstand das Leben ausschließlich auf der Erde – oder könnte es einen kosmischen Ursprung haben…
Well darn! I was reading an article recommended by a Reddit user in a question/thread about treating a white mold in a household. I was completely shocked that so many museums have this problem. And that one of the most famous drawings in the world also has it. This is a recent article in Scientic American. Hope you can read it from this link. #Mold #Extremophile #Museum

The future of life in #space 🌌 will likely depend on our ability to simulate, design, and guide #microbial 🦠 ecosystems capable of adapting to #alien worlds. Biofilm-forming communities have demonstrated not only survivability but also functionality under simulated #Martian stressors. The viability of life beyond Earth will depend on the robustness and adaptability of collective #biological systems https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-025-08973-1
This Review highlights how extremophile microbiomes and synthetic biology approaches could support Martian terraforming by driving biogeochemical cycles, regolith transformation, and future life-support ecosystems.
