In 2010, Felisa Wolfe-Simon announced a groundbreaking discovery at NASA, involving a bacterium found in Mono Lake that could use arsenic instead of phosphorus. The organism, named GFAJ-1, challenged conventional biological principles, suggesting a new level of adaptability in life forms. The

Scientists focus on microscopic life forms in the search for extraterrestrial life, particularly on moons like Europa and Enceladus. Recent research uses chemotaxis to observe microbial movement toward chemical attractants like L-serine, potentially indicating life’s presence. An experiment in Germany demonstrated microbes
