Abstract
The Moon-forming impact vaporized part of Earth's mantle, and turned the rest into a magma ocean, from which carbon dioxide degassed into the atmosphere, where it stayed until water rained out to form the oceans. The rain dissolved CO2 and made it available to react with transition metal catalysts in the Earth's crust so as to ultimately generate the organic compounds that form the backbone of microbial metabolism. The Moon-forming impact was key in building a planet with the capacity to generate life in that it converted carbon on Earth into a homogeneous and accessible substrate for organic synthesis. Today all ecosystems, without exception, depend upon primary producers, organisms that fix CO2 . According to theories of autotrophic origin, it has always been that way, because autotrophic theories posit that the first forms of life generated all the molecules needed to build a cell from CO2 , forging a direct line of continuity between Earth's initial CO2 -rich atmosphere and the first microorganisms. By modern accounts these were chemolithoautotrophic archaea and bacteria that initially colonized the crust and still inhabit that environment today.

Screening for Hyperthermophilic Electrotrophs for the Microbial Electrosynthesis of Organic Compounds. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10112249.

Abstract
Microbial electrosynthesis has recently emerged as a promising technology for the sustainable production of organic acids, bioplastics, or biofuels from electricity and CO2. However, the diversity of catalysts and metabolic pathways is limited to mainly mesophilic acetogens or methanogens. Here, eleven hyperthermophilic strains related to Archaeoglobales, Thermococcales, Aquificales, and methanogens were screened for microbial electrosynthesis. The strains were previously isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vents, where a naturally occurring, spontaneous electrical current can serve as a source of energy for microbial metabolism. After 6 days of incubation in an electrochemical system, all strains showed current consumption, biofilm formation, and small organic molecule production relative to the control. Six selected strains were then incubated over a longer period of time. In the course of one month, a variety of metabolic intermediates of biotechnological relevance such as succinic acid and glycerol accumulated. The production rates and the promotion of specific metabolic pathways seemed to be influenced by the experimental conditions, such as the concentration of CO2 in the gas phase and electron acceptor limitation. Further work is necessary to clearly identify these effects to potentially be able to tune the microbial electrosynthesis of compounds of interest.

Abstract
Systems far-from-equilibrium self-assemble into spatiotemporal structures. Here, we report on the formation of calcium alginate gardens along with their inorganic hybrids when a sodium alginate solution containing sodium phosphate in various compositions is injected into a calcium chloride reservoir. The viscoelastic properties of the membranes developed are controlled by the injection rate, while their thickness by the amount of sodium phosphate besides diffusion. Inorganic hybrid membranes with constant thickness are synthesized in the presence of a sufficient amount of sodium phosphate. The electrochemical characterization of the membranes suggests that the driving force is the pH-gradient developing along the two sides; hence, the cell potential can be controlled by the addition of alkaline sodium phosphate into the sodium alginate solution.

Advances in carbon isotope analysis of trapped methane and volatile hydrocarbons in crystalline rock cores. RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2021; 35:e9170. [PMID: 34302407 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.9170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE The isotopic composition of hydrocarbons trapped in rocks on the microscale (fluid inclusions, mineral grain boundaries, microfractures) can provide powerful information on geological and biological processes but are an analytical challenge due to low concentrations. We present a new approach for the extraction and carbon isotopic analysis of methane (CH4 ) and hydrocarbons in trapped volatiles in crystalline rocks. METHODS An off-line crusher with cryogenic trapping and a custom-made silica glass U-trap were attached to an external injector port on a continuous flow gas chromatograph/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometer to demonstrate the accuracy, reproducibility, and sensitivity of δ13 C measurements for CH4 . RESULTS The method can isotopically characterize CH4 in crushed rock samples with concentrations as low as 3.5 × 10-9 mol/g of rock, and both sample and isotopic standards are analyzed with an accuracy and reproducibility of ±0.5‰. High H2 O/CH4 ratios of 98 to 500 have no effect on measured δ13 CCH4 values. The method is successfully applied to natural samples from the north range of Sudbury Basin, Ontario, Canada. The δ13 C isotopic signatures of CH4 trapped microscopically in rock from the north range overlap significantly with that of CH4 contained in larger scale flowing fracture fluids from the same part of the Sudbury Basin, indicating a potential genetic link. CONCLUSIONS A novel method for δ13 CCH4 analysis was developed for the extraction of nanomole quantities of CH4 trapped microscopically in rocks. The technique has an accuracy and reproducibility comparable to that of on-line crushing techniques but importantly provides the capability of crushing larger rock quantities (up to 100 g). The benefit is improved detection levels for trace hydrocarbon species. Such a capability will be important for future extension of such crushing techniques for measurement of 2 H/1 H for CH4 , clumped isotopologues of CH4 and other trapped volatiles species, such as C2 H6 , C3 H8 , C4 H10 , CO2 and N2 .

Abstract
Prebiotic organic synthesis catalyzed by Earth-abundant metal sulfides is a key process for understanding the evolution of biochemistry from inorganic molecules, yet the catalytic functions of sulfides have remained poorly explored in the context of the origin of life. Past studies on prebiotic chemistry have mostly focused on a few types of metal sulfide catalysts, such as FeS or NiS, which form limited types of products with inferior activity and selectivity. To explore the potential of metal sulfides on catalyzing prebiotic chemical reactions, here, the chemical diversity (variations in chemical composition and phase structure) of 304 natural metal sulfide minerals in a mineralogy database was surveyed. Approaches to rationally predict the catalytic functions of metal sulfides are discussed based on advanced theories and analytical tools of electrocatalysis such as proton-coupled electron transfer, structural comparisons between enzymes and minerals, and in situ spectroscopy. To this end, we introduce a model of geoelectrochemistry driven prebiotic synthesis for chemical evolution, as it helps us to predict kinetics and selectivity of targeted prebiotic chemistry under “chemically messy conditions”. We expect that combining the data-mining of mineral databases with experimental methods, theories, and machine-learning approaches developed in the field of electrocatalysis will facilitate the prediction and verification of catalytic performance under a wide range of pH and Eh conditions, and will aid in the rational screening of mineral catalysts involved in the origin of life.

Abstract
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents discharge abundant reductive energy into oxidative seawater. Herein, we demonstrated that in situ measurements of redox potentials on the surfaces of active hydrothermal mineral deposits were more negative than the surrounding seawater potential, driving electrical current generation. We also demonstrated that negative potentials in the surface of minerals were widespread in the hydrothermal fields, regardless of the proximity to hydrothermal fluid discharges. Lab experiments verified that the negative potential of the mineral surface was induced by a distant electron transfer from the hydrothermal fluid through the metallic and catalytic properties of minerals. These results indicate that electric current is spontaneously and widely generated in natural mineral deposits in deep-sea hydrothermal fields. Our discovery provides important insights into the microbial communities that are supported by extracellular electron transfer and the prebiotic chemical and metabolic evolution of the ocean hydrothermal systems.
