1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:10,959 [Music] 2 00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:12,829 thank you very much for this opportunity 3 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:21,200 I'm PhD student in Brazil I'm working 4 00:00:26,450 --> 00:00:22,970 with the interaction between 5 00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,460 microorganisms and me rights and in the 6 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:28,800 beginning of my PhD I'm working with 7 00:00:33,319 --> 00:00:30,690 professor of fatherhood rages in the 8 00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:33,329 atmosphere a laboratory in the chemistry 9 00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:35,280 Institute at the University of Sao Paulo 10 00:00:43,069 --> 00:00:37,620 together with Alana and my colleagues 11 00:00:45,619 --> 00:00:43,079 that were here and to have a for people 12 00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:45,629 that are not familiar with the idea of 13 00:00:50,419 --> 00:00:47,820 this interaction between microorganisms 14 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:50,429 and rocks and me writes we using 15 00:00:56,239 --> 00:00:53,850 laboratory some model microorganisms in 16 00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:56,249 this case the this cumulative traffic 17 00:01:02,660 --> 00:00:59,010 bacterium called acidity of bacillus for 18 00:01:07,970 --> 00:01:02,670 exceedance it's a really model for for 19 00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:07,980 us because as I was talking for it's a 20 00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:10,830 humanly to traffic microorganisms is a 21 00:01:19,690 --> 00:01:16,220 it's bacteria is able to use inorganic 22 00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:19,700 molecules that we found in rocks too as 23 00:01:27,370 --> 00:01:23,820 energy source for a living so to do so 24 00:01:31,790 --> 00:01:27,380 this bacterium used to living name 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:31,800 various novel and it's an acid a philic 26 00:01:38,570 --> 00:01:35,250 bacterium like to live in places with a 27 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:38,580 very low pH D so it can use iron and 28 00:01:44,810 --> 00:01:42,450 sulfur species as source of energy and 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:44,820 this process of oxidation to get these 30 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,370 energy and later to use the carbon 31 00:01:52,850 --> 00:01:49,200 dioxide from the atmosphere to produce 32 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:52,860 its biomass and when we're thinking 33 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:55,290 about the the use of these 34 00:02:00,530 --> 00:01:58,050 microorganisms in context of space 35 00:02:03,050 --> 00:02:00,540 exploration we need to look for our 36 00:02:08,380 --> 00:02:03,060 museums and seeing our collections of 37 00:02:10,570 --> 00:02:08,390 meteorites to see that the huge very 38 00:02:13,059 --> 00:02:10,580 different materials we have that comes 39 00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:13,069 from space so we can learn from these me 40 00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:15,440 writes how the composition of these 41 00:02:20,410 --> 00:02:17,870 rocks of these asteroids this planets 42 00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:20,420 seeing what we have here in this 43 00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:23,270 material represents hundreds of 44 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:25,310 different kinds of asteroids and other 45 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:28,970 bodies from the solar system like moon 46 00:02:34,540 --> 00:02:32,090 like Mars that we have pieces of rock 47 00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:34,550 from this place here on earth so you can 48 00:02:40,449 --> 00:02:37,400 use it to learn how to use them how to 49 00:02:42,930 --> 00:02:40,459 explore the possibilities we have in 50 00:02:46,540 --> 00:02:42,940 this material so when we think about 51 00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:46,550 that microorganism that can use material 52 00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:49,280 in this on organic molecules formula for 53 00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:52,400 these rocks we think the possibility of 54 00:02:59,259 --> 00:02:55,519 use of this contact for our exploration 55 00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:59,269 of natural resources and in a form for 56 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:01,519 example of Billy Ching and the 57 00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:04,489 liberation of metals that are important 58 00:03:11,380 --> 00:03:08,510 in the colonization and to help the 59 00:03:14,740 --> 00:03:11,390 human beings to travel to other planets 60 00:03:19,870 --> 00:03:14,750 and survival there and use this kind of 61 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:19,880 a way to access this material to help 62 00:03:24,729 --> 00:03:22,250 the colonization and even to prepare the 63 00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:24,739 soil for plantations and use in 64 00:03:33,490 --> 00:03:28,790 different ways to help us to complete 65 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:33,500 the space but what we know now about me 66 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:36,410 right the me rights in our collections I 67 00:03:41,140 --> 00:03:38,810 said there is a lot of different 68 00:03:44,020 --> 00:03:41,150 compositions but we can put it in two 69 00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:44,030 main groups they count right meteorites 70 00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:47,120 and the non Conrad meteorites what does 71 00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:49,340 mean for people we are not familiar of 72 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:53,030 meteorites the chondrite material comes 73 00:03:57,580 --> 00:03:55,610 from the origin of the solar system the 74 00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:57,590 formation process of the solar system 75 00:04:01,210 --> 00:03:59,120 and the non-contract 76 00:04:03,970 --> 00:04:01,220 tells us about the history of the 77 00:04:07,060 --> 00:04:03,980 evolution of the solar system so we have 78 00:04:10,449 --> 00:04:07,070 the first material there and here we 79 00:04:14,650 --> 00:04:10,459 have some differentiation and separation 80 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:14,660 of material so thinking about the main 81 00:04:19,539 --> 00:04:17,450 composition and the main phases of this 82 00:04:21,900 --> 00:04:19,549 material we have this tawny 83 00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:21,910 or rocky phase 84 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:24,060 that we have in composition mainly 85 00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:27,970 silicate minerals from magnesium iron 86 00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:31,900 etc and we have the metallic phase that 87 00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:35,380 is mainly iron and nickel and we can 88 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:38,190 find these two phases in different 89 00:04:45,690 --> 00:04:40,450 concentrations on each kind of meat 90 00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:45,700 right we have this group we have more 91 00:04:50,370 --> 00:04:48,670 composition of the rocky phase we have a 92 00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:50,380 group that I'll talk a little bit more 93 00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:53,260 that just the metallic phase just iron 94 00:05:01,230 --> 00:04:56,740 nickel and other metals and a mixture of 95 00:05:03,150 --> 00:05:01,240 both the stony-iron me right so going to 96 00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:03,160 start to think about the use of 97 00:05:08,430 --> 00:05:05,710 meteorites we start to think in 98 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:08,440 something there was very recently 99 00:05:15,690 --> 00:05:12,130 present in the the science the first 100 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:15,700 idea the first challenge proof of 101 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:17,890 concept was to understand if this 102 00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:21,250 bacteria could survive using this Iram 103 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:23,980 not from Earth but from me rights to 104 00:05:31,140 --> 00:05:27,010 grow and to gather this designer jet 105 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:31,150 survived so this first work from 2005 106 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:35,890 just did this they put meteorite in a 107 00:05:43,770 --> 00:05:41,410 very acid media to fragments and one was 108 00:05:46,890 --> 00:05:43,780 a biotic experiment and the other the 109 00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:46,900 biotic experience using exactly the same 110 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:50,620 bacteria we were present here and what 111 00:05:58,050 --> 00:05:54,730 we saw was that the micro the Iram in 112 00:05:59,940 --> 00:05:58,060 the me right was attacked by the acid so 113 00:06:02,790 --> 00:05:59,950 we have the solubilization part of this 114 00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:02,800 acid and for my room too but when we 115 00:06:08,250 --> 00:06:05,230 have the bacteria it was capable of 116 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:08,260 using this iron and that's oxidizing 117 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:10,450 desire and got the energy and survived 118 00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:13,210 in growth so yes 119 00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:15,430 bacteria can use our room for me rights 120 00:06:22,740 --> 00:06:19,840 to survive using iron but you have a 121 00:06:25,460 --> 00:06:22,750 little bit of sulfides here too but but 122 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:25,470 the iron was the main source of energy 123 00:06:32,610 --> 00:06:29,440 but okay we can't grow bacteria there 124 00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:32,620 but in the other methods could it make 125 00:06:41,090 --> 00:06:35,340 it worse due to bacteria 126 00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:41,100 with these other methods to be a 127 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:43,590 challenge for something like much bigger 128 00:06:51,050 --> 00:06:47,570 like a bio leaching process in the space 129 00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:51,060 there's one another paper one another 130 00:06:57,980 --> 00:06:54,960 work from 2009 that tried almost the 131 00:07:01,100 --> 00:06:57,990 same idea a little bit more complex but 132 00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:01,110 nothing more to understand was developed 133 00:07:07,159 --> 00:07:03,870 200 really understand how the meteorite 134 00:07:09,650 --> 00:07:07,169 composition could really become a 135 00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:09,660 challenge for this bacteria to be used 136 00:07:19,070 --> 00:07:14,580 in a much larger process so the first 137 00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:19,080 idea is to think how could this process 138 00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:24,240 be far as something much larger in space 139 00:07:31,340 --> 00:07:27,830 in a huge asteroid that could be an iron 140 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:31,350 composition but we also need to think 141 00:07:39,050 --> 00:07:36,330 about how we can make this process 142 00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:39,060 really happen and how we can access the 143 00:07:46,820 --> 00:07:41,430 information to know that the process is 144 00:07:49,550 --> 00:07:46,830 developing well in the space so a method 145 00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:49,560 that could help us to this process is 146 00:08:02,350 --> 00:07:53,900 called the capillary electrophoresis is 147 00:08:15,170 --> 00:08:09,430 material to just two small copper say 148 00:08:18,409 --> 00:08:15,180 this we need this is the liquid where we 149 00:08:21,379 --> 00:08:18,419 have our sample and we put a capillary 150 00:08:26,060 --> 00:08:21,389 in this and put a very large difference 151 00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:26,070 of a charge so we can make the ions 152 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:29,849 there in this ionic species that were in 153 00:08:35,930 --> 00:08:32,490 this liquid to go through this capillary 154 00:08:38,690 --> 00:08:35,940 and the difference between the the 155 00:08:42,860 --> 00:08:38,700 charges and the the molecules we have 156 00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:42,870 here we make it take different time to 157 00:08:49,610 --> 00:08:45,120 cross all the capillary so we can make 158 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:49,620 it separate and we can quantify each of 159 00:08:56,569 --> 00:08:52,530 them when they pass in front of detector 160 00:08:59,900 --> 00:08:56,579 so we can quantify ionic species that we 161 00:09:03,680 --> 00:08:59,910 will try to analyze we can use low 162 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:03,690 sample reagent volumes this all this 163 00:09:10,010 --> 00:09:06,450 equipment can be miniaturized so you can 164 00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:10,020 put in our in a innocent spaceship and 165 00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:14,160 send it very cheaper than water or other 166 00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:18,510 methods to quantify this and we can put 167 00:09:23,390 --> 00:09:21,120 it together with a great variety of 168 00:09:26,690 --> 00:09:23,400 detection systems that can make your 169 00:09:28,430 --> 00:09:26,700 data more precise so think about the 170 00:09:32,110 --> 00:09:28,440 other thinking to understand how we can 171 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:32,120 make this process work in space this 172 00:09:40,250 --> 00:09:35,970 this work try to have to to analyze to 173 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:40,260 have we have two goals in this work the 174 00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:42,930 first one is to evaluate the possibility 175 00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:46,110 of the growth of this acid bath Phil's 176 00:09:52,069 --> 00:09:49,110 truck seasons during up very large 177 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:52,079 process of bio leaching using a mirror 178 00:09:58,250 --> 00:09:55,650 right similar to thinking in the in all 179 00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:58,260 the methods that we could you have in 180 00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:00,720 this me right hand could influence the 181 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:04,500 this growth and try to do this thinking 182 00:10:12,290 --> 00:10:08,850 in the space using a method that could 183 00:10:15,470 --> 00:10:12,300 be using in space using the vote 184 00:10:17,690 --> 00:10:15,480 revolving a novel method inside the 185 00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:17,700 capillary electrophoresis we could 186 00:10:22,730 --> 00:10:20,310 analyze the for ionic species they're 187 00:10:25,130 --> 00:10:22,740 important for us aren't you a nerve 188 00:10:26,780 --> 00:10:25,140 three that will tell us about the growth 189 00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:26,790 of the bacteria 190 00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:29,640 Nico and cop out there the other main 191 00:10:37,790 --> 00:10:35,279 main metals we have in this mirror X so 192 00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:37,800 to do this we use it as it passes for 193 00:10:42,530 --> 00:10:40,260 exceedance a strength called LR that are 194 00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:42,540 isolated from Brazil in the classic 195 00:10:47,510 --> 00:10:44,520 medium for this microorganism 196 00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:47,520 with soluble iron the form of sulfate of 197 00:10:51,970 --> 00:10:49,340 aero tube 198 00:10:56,020 --> 00:10:51,980 and we develop what we call a STONER 199 00:10:58,660 --> 00:10:56,030 meteorite so it's a median that have a 200 00:11:01,720 --> 00:10:58,670 composition similar to the main group of 201 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:01,730 iron meteorites called three a B which 202 00:11:07,180 --> 00:11:04,010 the composition have nine percent of 203 00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:07,190 iron almost nine percent of nickel and 204 00:11:13,390 --> 00:11:09,470 more or less half percent of cobalt 205 00:11:16,420 --> 00:11:13,400 that's the main composition of the this 206 00:11:20,830 --> 00:11:16,430 meteorite and we have all these species 207 00:11:24,690 --> 00:11:20,840 soluble as sulfates all the groups are 208 00:11:30,610 --> 00:11:24,700 in early Meyer flasks 30 degrees Celsius 209 00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:30,620 100 p.m. shaker and all in triplicate in 210 00:11:35,530 --> 00:11:32,990 the development of the capillary 211 00:11:39,610 --> 00:11:35,540 electrophoresis we use as a background 212 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:39,620 electrolysis solution of 10 millimole 213 00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:43,250 per liter of hydroxy butyrate acid and 214 00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:46,880 histidine to work all this the the 215 00:11:53,830 --> 00:11:50,240 species together in a pH of 5 we use two 216 00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:53,840 different detectors one base it on the 217 00:12:00,220 --> 00:11:57,680 conductivity of the material passing the 218 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:00,230 capillary energy detector all the 219 00:12:07,930 --> 00:12:04,570 samples were diluted so you can have the 220 00:12:09,730 --> 00:12:07,940 right concentration we use complementary 221 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:09,740 methods a measurements or 222 00:12:13,690 --> 00:12:11,210 spectrophotometry the classic 223 00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:13,700 colorimetric method for R 2 R 3 to 224 00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:16,760 validate our data and use ICP as oh yes 225 00:12:22,210 --> 00:12:19,670 to analyze nickel and cobalt 226 00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:22,220 concentrations so here are the results 227 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:23,120 first 228 00:12:28,570 --> 00:12:25,610 we're able to develop this new method of 229 00:12:30,970 --> 00:12:28,580 capillary o2 Francis so we were able to 230 00:12:35,410 --> 00:12:30,980 find exactly concentrations for iron 231 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:35,420 cobalt nickel and iron 3 in one just run 232 00:12:41,290 --> 00:12:38,570 of the equipment and we have very low 233 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:41,300 limit of quantification the dictation so 234 00:12:46,780 --> 00:12:43,610 we can make it work even for lower 235 00:12:49,450 --> 00:12:46,790 concentrations working in space and 236 00:12:52,270 --> 00:12:49,460 looking for the growth curves we have 237 00:12:55,810 --> 00:12:52,280 first the Clara metric method suspected 238 00:12:58,510 --> 00:12:55,820 photometry we saw traditional growth 239 00:13:01,570 --> 00:12:58,520 curve exponential growth to consuming 240 00:13:03,010 --> 00:13:01,580 all their iron and later precipitate of 241 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:03,020 iron three divers permit 242 00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:05,930 later with the the bacterial growth the 243 00:13:11,980 --> 00:13:08,840 same path you must found in the air the 244 00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:11,990 simulant of our standard me right so we 245 00:13:17,830 --> 00:13:15,200 saw that yes you can grow the episodes 246 00:13:19,930 --> 00:13:17,840 for accidents in me rights and that the 247 00:13:23,170 --> 00:13:19,940 nico the presence of the nico and the 248 00:13:26,350 --> 00:13:23,180 comment doesn't change much the specific 249 00:13:29,740 --> 00:13:26,360 growth rate but can change the formation 250 00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:29,750 of the minerals precipitate we see the 251 00:13:35,470 --> 00:13:32,240 same pattern for the capillary 252 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:35,480 electrophoresis that we develop but this 253 00:13:43,570 --> 00:13:38,720 time a little bit more noisy results we 254 00:13:45,940 --> 00:13:43,580 can see for sure where the that that 255 00:13:48,490 --> 00:13:45,950 curve that the spanish show curve so 256 00:13:50,530 --> 00:13:48,500 well but we have the growth and then the 257 00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:50,540 formation of the precipitate in the 258 00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:52,160 traditional media we can see in the 259 00:13:57,940 --> 00:13:54,710 conductivity and UV detector with a good 260 00:14:00,040 --> 00:13:57,950 correlation coefficient in the green 261 00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:00,050 compared to the calorimetric composition 262 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:03,440 the same we saw for the standard 263 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:05,450 meteorite simulate and now we have a 264 00:14:10,540 --> 00:14:07,730 better correlation coefficient and we 265 00:14:13,330 --> 00:14:10,550 see that the nickel and cobalt doesn't 266 00:14:16,810 --> 00:14:13,340 change this growth so just to conclude 267 00:14:20,830 --> 00:14:16,820 we saw with this work first the novel 268 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:20,840 merit to capillary and dr phrases allow 269 00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:22,850 us to detect in a single run 270 00:14:29,860 --> 00:14:27,710 oh the the ions that we we want to to 271 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:29,870 quantify thinking the grow in the space 272 00:14:35,740 --> 00:14:32,770 in an iron mature in asteroid in space 273 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:35,750 the bacteria was able to grow the 274 00:14:38,950 --> 00:14:37,490 simulant showing no significant 275 00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:38,960 difference due the presence of nickel 276 00:14:44,860 --> 00:14:42,350 and cobalt and this dope there is two 277 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:44,870 results together make us think more 278 00:14:49,330 --> 00:14:47,210 about the possibilities of future study 279 00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:49,340 of the leaching of metal-rich asteroids 280 00:14:56,890 --> 00:14:53,600 and maybe out kind of asteroids so this 281 00:14:59,980 --> 00:14:56,900 was published in a paper the last year 282 00:15:02,530 --> 00:14:59,990 if you can see it you have been in 283 00:15:05,020 --> 00:15:02,540 doubts about it you can see it and just 284 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:05,030 for future work we propose different 285 00:15:10,450 --> 00:15:07,610 kind of which writes a more broad study 286 00:15:13,690 --> 00:15:10,460 of all of them that is in fact to become 287 00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:13,700 my kg researcher and do me now thank you 288 00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:14,630 very much 289 00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:19,360 [Applause] 290 00:15:31,870 --> 00:15:28,430 okay are there any questions thank you 291 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:31,880 it was a very nice talk but maybe it's a 292 00:15:35,620 --> 00:15:33,770 stupid question cuz I'm not in the field 293 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:35,630 but could you go back to your results 294 00:15:43,780 --> 00:15:41,570 like slide 17 Megan yeah um could you 295 00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:43,790 clarify a bit more what's the difference 296 00:15:50,460 --> 00:15:46,510 between iron and iron in precipitation 297 00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:50,470 when this microorganism gross it 298 00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:53,510 consumed the iron - and oxidized to a 299 00:16:00,270 --> 00:15:57,440 form of iron 3 in even in this low pH 300 00:16:04,660 --> 00:16:00,280 higher highest concentrations of air 301 00:16:07,650 --> 00:16:04,670 creates a possibility formation of 302 00:16:11,830 --> 00:16:07,660 minerals like ox Hydrox 303 00:16:14,860 --> 00:16:11,840 oxide rods of iron and oxide drugs so 304 00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:14,870 fatal viral that precipitate as minerals 305 00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:17,720 like Jerez I'd and choise my night so 306 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:20,480 this is the idea about formation of a 307 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:23,210 new soil in an asteroid is this 308 00:16:27,550 --> 00:16:25,610 formation of this precipitate that takes 309 00:16:30,130 --> 00:16:27,560 a little bit of the iron and sometimes 310 00:16:31,690 --> 00:16:30,140 can take a little bit of the nickel in 311 00:16:33,490 --> 00:16:31,700 the cobalt and the other metals in the 312 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:33,500 solution and the formation of this 313 00:16:40,570 --> 00:16:38,330 precipitate we can also have we can also 314 00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:40,580 detect the concentrations if you have 315 00:16:46,350 --> 00:16:43,150 the possibility of openness the 316 00:16:52,690 --> 00:16:46,360 solubility this the precipitate in 317 00:16:56,110 --> 00:16:52,700 hydrochloric acid thank you I have a 318 00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:56,120 question so you have a CEC for new 319 00:17:01,750 --> 00:16:58,370 system that's excellent we need to talk 320 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,760 like what is the sensitivity the limit 321 00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:05,600 of detection and the dynamic range of 322 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:10,430 fear see for lis sensor I guess that did 323 00:17:16,090 --> 00:17:12,890 I can't remember the results right now 324 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:16,100 but the deranged we could work who else 325 00:17:25,050 --> 00:17:22,850 until that's okay I can't remember but I 326 00:17:27,910 --> 00:17:25,060 think there was something like 25 327 00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:27,920 millimoles per liter we can 328 00:17:32,940 --> 00:17:30,710 work who in the the this curve and the 329 00:17:34,980 --> 00:17:32,950 lower concentrations in the scale of 330 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:34,990 micromoles per liter 331 00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:42,170 all right the answers thank you great 332 00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:42,710 talk 333 00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:47,120 I really appreciate you opening the 334 00:17:55,420 --> 00:17:50,270 possibility of soil generation by this 335 00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:55,430 micro planetary bodies in that context I 336 00:18:01,950 --> 00:17:57,200 had a question then about some of your 337 00:18:06,970 --> 00:18:01,960 extrapolations based on but maybe how 338 00:18:09,810 --> 00:18:06,980 this microbe can create plant available 339 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:09,820 nutrients for growing plants on other 340 00:18:19,330 --> 00:18:13,520 planets it is that assumption correct or 341 00:18:22,510 --> 00:18:19,340 am I out of in fact we're trying to see 342 00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:22,520 this possibility we have a student in 343 00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:24,710 our lab they're trying to use this 344 00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:27,710 minerals that are precipitated to grow 345 00:18:36,190 --> 00:18:33,080 some some some food some I guess was 346 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:36,200 wheat lived in this minerals but we are 347 00:18:43,270 --> 00:18:39,050 seeing a lot of problems because they're 348 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:43,280 stable in LA and lower pH when he when 349 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:46,250 you get to the neutral pH there's a lot 350 00:18:54,580 --> 00:18:51,050 of sulfur in the area so the iron 351 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:54,590 becomes another farmers are iron out the 352 00:19:00,910 --> 00:18:58,450 toxins so it's very hard for the seed to 353 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:00,920 grow but we are trying to see the 354 00:19:07,630 --> 00:19:03,410 possibility of use part of this minerals 355 00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:07,640 and part of other materials maybe other 356 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:10,660 plan the plants that came from the 357 00:19:17,260 --> 00:19:14,090 previous generation to create some kind 358 00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:17,270 of soil we use for futures but we're 359 00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:20,510 starting to play with it we can see 360 00:19:24,410 --> 00:19:22,630 where can do with this precipitate 361 00:19:27,460 --> 00:19:24,420 that's great thank you 362 00:19:29,740 --> 00:19:27,470 [Music] 363 00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:29,750 great talk I love the idea of things 364 00:19:37,770 --> 00:19:35,360 growing on metals do you see any other 365 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:37,780 oxidation of the iron 366 00:19:45,030 --> 00:19:42,250 but during your growth the in this pH 367 00:19:47,610 --> 00:19:45,040 the the electrode electrode difference 368 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:47,620 for the oxidation the iron to try room 369 00:19:54,510 --> 00:19:51,010 three is much higher so that's exactly 370 00:19:57,090 --> 00:19:54,520 why the this microorganisms can grow 371 00:19:59,550 --> 00:19:57,100 better you know in a lower pH D so have 372 00:20:04,050 --> 00:19:59,560 more energy the difference so we can 373 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:04,060 keep the little little bit of oxidation 374 00:20:10,980 --> 00:20:08,410 the abiotic oxidation and we try to to 375 00:20:14,750 --> 00:20:10,990 take as a baseline when you're trying to 376 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:14,760 make your experiments with abiotic - 377 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:20,530 okay do you see any siderophores for the 378 00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:27,970 active import of the iron species if I 379 00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:31,120 do see any small molecules secreted by 380 00:20:37,950 --> 00:20:34,500 the organism that help import the other 381 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:37,960 my work didn't focus on this but we're 382 00:20:44,670 --> 00:20:40,450 trying to understand more about this as 383 00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:44,680 we have other sources of iron for 384 00:20:50,310 --> 00:20:47,710 example in study with satellite as a 385 00:20:53,370 --> 00:20:50,320 possibility of use in conditions like 386 00:20:55,620 --> 00:20:53,380 Mars so we're trying to understand 387 00:20:59,850 --> 00:20:55,630 understand the possibilities of use of 388 00:21:03,600 --> 00:20:59,860 EPs and maybe other surface to gather 389 00:21:05,910 --> 00:21:03,610 this the design for the bacteria it's a 390 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:05,920 model bacteria there's a lot of study 391 00:21:12,060 --> 00:21:08,650 been doing about this but there's a lot 392 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:12,070 of questions open how the formation of 393 00:21:17,820 --> 00:21:14,710 the precipitate how it works to get 394 00:21:20,460 --> 00:21:17,830 desire so there's a lot kindred with
