This project investigates ancient microbial life by developing a method to use uranium isotopes as biosignatures. It aims to provide insights into the metabolic processes of early Earth organisms, particularly those that thrived in anaerobic conditions, enhancing our understanding of microbial evolution.
Prokaryotes (archaea and bacteria) are the most abundant form of life both at present and throughout paleohistory and exhibit exquisite metabolic diversity, unmatched by eukaryotes.
On early Earth, the absence of atmospheric oxygen led to the emergence of anaerobic microbial metabolisms such as methanogenesis, sulfate reduction, iron reduction, and denitrification.
Non-isotope and isotope tools used to study ancient microbial life have provided evidence for each of these types of metabolisms in…
