Extremophiles as Astrobiological Models
The data in this book are new or updated, and will serve also as Origin of Life and evolutionary studies. Endospores of bacteria have a long history of use as model organisms in astrobiology, including survival in extreme environments and interplanetary transfer of life. Numerous other bacteria as well as archaea, lichens, fungi, algae and tiny animals (tardigrades, or water bears) are now being investigated for their tolerance to extreme conditions in simulated or real space environments. Experimental results from exposure studies on the International Space Station and space probes for up to 1.5 years are presented and discussed. Suggestions for extaterrestrial energy sources are also indicated. Audience Researchers and graduate students in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and astrobiology, as well as anyone interested in the search for extraterrestrial life and its technical preparations.
Habitability Beyond Earth
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
Women in Biogeochemical Dynamics Research: 2022
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Extreme Habitable Environments
Extreme Habitable Environments is a book authored with the intention of providing introductory material suitable for those interested in learning about exoplanets. The focal point of this book is to expose its readers to the excitement in identifying exoplanets and exploring the possibility of life on them. This book offers structured content enriched with graphics, flow charts, images and worked examples that make reading and learning a delight. This book further serves as a hands-on perspective of the solar system and exoplanets. The first two chapters give a thorough insight into the solar system replete with the dynamics of star and planet formation. Exoplanets are introduced in the thir...
Nová Botanika 2023/1
Obsah jarního čísla Nové Botaniky 2023/1 Editorial Nové objevy v rostlinné říši Stále je co objevovat, některé rostlinné druhy však mizí rychleji, než by se mohlo zdát. Tentokrát si představíme láčkovku z ostrova Kalimantan či zcela nový rod bena (Benna), nazvaný podle náhorní plošiny Benna v západní Africe, kde roste. Madagaskar je na nové druhy tradičně velmi bohatý, loni zde byly popsány čtyři nové druhy rodu palnice (Acalypha) z čeledi pryšcovitých. Na křídlech evoluce. Křehké vztahy kolibříků a rostlin Mezi rostlinami existuje kolem sedmi tisíc druhů, jež jsou závislé na opylování kolibříky. Z nejznámějších jmenujme helikonie,...
Astrobiology on the International Space Station
This volume on astrobiology of the Springer Briefs in Life Sciences book series addresses the three fundamental questions on origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe: how does life begin and evolve? Is there life beyond Earth and, if so, how can we detect it? What is the future of life on Earth and in the universe? The book provides insights into astrobiological experiments that are being performed on the International Space Station, ISS, and discusses their findings. This extremely exciting volume on astrobiology is intended for scientists of various research fields and for laypersons interested in space research and in the fundamental issues of the universe and life.
Strzępki życia. O tym, jak grzyby tworzą nasz świat, zmieniają nasz umysł i kształtują naszą przyszłość
Im więcej dowiadujemy się o grzybach, tym bardziej dociera do nas, że nie ma bez nich życia. Nie są ani roślinami, ani zwierzętami, ale występują dosłownie wszędzie, także w powietrzu i w naszych ciałach. Mogą być mikroskopijne, ale należą również do największych poznanych organizmów. Dzięki nim na lądzie powstało życie. Mogą przetrwać bez dodatkowej ochrony w kosmosie i rozwijać się w obecności promieniowania jądrowego. Tak naprawdę praktycznie całe życie w ten czy inny sposób zależy od grzybów. Te wciąż zadziwiające nas organizmy nie mają mózgu, ale potrafią rozwiązywać problemy i manipulować zachowaniem zwierząt z niesamowitą precyzją. Zawd...
Community Series-Extremophiles: Microbial Genomics and Taxogenomics, Volume II
This Research Topic is the second volume of the 'Community series-Extremophiles: Microbial Genomics and Taxogenomics'. Please see the first volume here. Extreme habitats exist across the globe and span over three quarters of our planet. They can be widely different from a physical-chemical perspective as they include diverse types of extreme, such as temperature, pH, salinity, radiation, pressure, low water activity, low nutrient availability, etc. Organisms capable of adjusting, surviving, or thriving in those habitats, which are so hostile that they were previously thought to be adverse or lethal for life, are called “extremophiles”.
