lockedThe In-Situ Detection of Organic Material in Extraterrestrial Samples

29 October 2008
Full text available to registered users only
As the Solar System formed, it inherited and perpetuated a rich organic chemistry, the products of which are preserved in the carbonaceous chondrites. These organic-rich meteorites provide a valuable and tangible record of the chemical steps towards the evolution of life in the early Solar System...

lockedBiomineralization of Copper by a Fungus Revealed by SEM

29 October 2008
Full text available to registered users only

SEM including X-ray mapping and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX) were used to demonstrate the mechanism of uptake of copper ions by the fungus Penicillium ochrochiloron. Smooth and porous microspheres (10-40 ?m diameter) appeared within the core of fungal mycelia beads after 1-4 days of incubation in medium with 100 mg/l Cu2 ...
