Ukraine macht gleich in der ersten Zeile das Thema klar: "green into rust". Beim "great oxidation event" vor ca. 2.5 Milliarden Jahren lernten grüne Cyanobakterien, Photosynthese zu betreiben. Sie erzeugten Sauerstoff, der die Erde mit rötlichem Rost überzog, ähnlich wie am Mars heute. #ESC2026

Published! Using thermodynamics, we proposed a new microbial metabolism: CH4 + CO to form acetate. This reaction is exergonic under a wide range of conditions and could potentially fuel life in serpentinizing systems and the deep subsurface.

Integrated palaeontological, sedimentological and geochemical analyses of ancient rocks from Australia show that early eukaryotes were largely restricted to oxygenated benthic habitats, probably posse...
