Airborne particles, also called particulate matter, can impact directly and indirectly on earth's climate as well as on human and animal health. Aerosol particles range from a few microns down to very small sizes, such as a few tens of Angstroms. These particles can directly absorb or reflect solar radiation within the atmosphere affecting directly the earth's energy balance, a major focu…
One of the aspects of the world that has always fascinated humans is the great diversity of colours produced by organisms and caused by the presence of pigments. Despite the wide variety, melanin is the most common type in nature, and in animals, this compound is made up of eumelanin and pheomelanin. Melanins are formed and stored in melanosomes, which can assume a cylindrical or spherica…
Currently, the planet Mars has been the focus of human space exploration, since humans are on their way to making the idea a reality within a few decades. In spite of this, it is an inhospitable planet for human life because of its extreme conditions. Therefore, for human remains to survive in space, it will be necessary to develop technologies that mimic the terrestrial conditions that m…
Perchlorate and sulfate salts are very abundant on the surface of Mars. Such salts are important for the Martian brines formation due to their high deliquescence and ability to produce solutions with very low eutectic temperatures. These physicochemical properties might allow the existence of liquid water on Mars, whose availability is the main limiting factor for the development and main…

Extremophiles are organisms that inhabit extreme environments. Studying these organisms has been increasingly relevant and frequent because it has implications in the fields of astrobiology, the origin of life and biotechnology. Notably, the Archaea are a group of microorganisms that rule these environments with many extremophiles representatives. Halobacterium salinarum is part of this g…
The poliextremophile bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans is considered a model of resistance to radiation, being studied extensively in the context of Astrobiology and missions of search for life in other planets. Among its diverse strategies of radiation protection is the production of photoprotective pigments, which help both in UV protection and oxidant species. Studies show that there a…
The purpose of this work is to perform the mineralogical, textural and chemical characterization of a 5.2 kg meteorite sample found in Peru, with a fall report in 1998. This characterization will be carried out using the techniques of petrographic microscopy in reflected and transmitted light, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, among other techniques (eg, magnetic susceptib…

Cell surface charges, resulting from the acid-base equilibrium of organic ligands, are known to play important roles in microorganisms nutrition, adherence to surfaces and metal interaction. A quantitative approach is allowing researchers to model the bacteria interactions with metals, minerals and nutrients. These models are fundamental for a better understanding of microbial ecophysiolo…
