Scientists Fed an Ancient Earth Organism Space Metals. It Started 'Dancing'

[Confounding]

If the earliest forms of life on Earth were capable of colonizing objects in space then perhaps Earth was seeded.

Scientists Fed an Ancient Earth Organism Space Metals. It Started 'Dancing'

Scientists have discovered that a single-celled organism, a descendant of some of the earliest living creatures on Earth, is able to colonize a meteorite, growing and synthesizing nutrients. Their experiment, published on Monday in the journal Scientific Reports, may give us a way to look for the signatures of past life on other planets.

"This process was very enigmatic and exciting, how the chemical energy of a stone fragment can be transformed into the biochemical energy of a living entity,”

One correction.

In the case of single celled organisms, it is not a 'descendant' of orignal single celled ancestors.

IT IS the single celled ancestor but multiplied many times over.

Bacteria are immortal.
