In collaboration with…
First step: -M starlight simulator-Incubator build-up- Choice of bacteria
Second step: Irradiation of the samples with
terrestrial conditions, - Analysis of gaseous abundances
in the cells
Third step: -Irradiation of the samples
with M star radiation,-Analysis of gaseous abundances
in the cells
Fourth step: -Irradiation of the samples with M star
radiation at terrestrial pressure,temperature and
extrasolar planet gaseous mixture,
-Analysis of gaseous abundances in the cells.
Ancillary science:Plants on M star planets

simulaitons
Chroococcidiopsis: 40 fmol/cell/h in normal growth condition (20 µmol of photons m -² s-1 ~ 40 mmolO2/g/h).Miyashita et al 2003
Acharyocloris marina: 1.3µmol of O2 /mg Chld/h
pH=8; T=30°C; NaCl=3%
Behrendt et al 2013
Measurement system
gas
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy setup (TDLAS)
Accuracy: O2 <1% ; CO2 , CH4= 0.1%
Green bump (concentrazioni diChl-a e Chl-b)
Red edge (varia a seconda del tipo di organismo e al numero di biomassa, all’idratazione e lo spessore delle foglie e del contenuto di carbonio).
Kiang et al., 2007aLa banda dell’ozono sposta il piccoda 600 nm a 685 nm
Il 75% della radiazione totale viene reirradiata,Il 25 % dissipata
Stelle MColori
Troppa luce → antocianine x proteggersiL’antocianicna si accumula sulla superficiedelle foglie adattate ad ambienti ombrosie le dà una colorazione blu.Se le piante acquisissero solo la luce blu riflettendo nel rosso (→blue edge).
Stelle F
