Magnetita biomimética mediada por proteínas del magnetosoma vs. magnetita del meteorito ALH84001: ¿Son ambas comparables?

Abstract

La sugerencia en 1996 de que el meteorito marciano ALH84001 pudiese contener pruebas de posible actividad biologica en el pasado ha generado una gran controversia que aun persiste hoy. Una de las evidencias mas discutidas es la presencia de cristales de magnetita que se asemejan a aquellos producidos por un grupo particular de bacterias, las bacterias magnetotacticas (MTB). Estos microorganismos son el unico ejemplo de mineralizacion controlado biologicamente conocido entre procariotas y ejerce un control delicado sobre el proceso de biomineralizacion de la magnetita intracelular que resulta en la formacion de cristales con caracteristicas unicas que, hasta ahora, no han podido ser replicadas por medios inorganicos. Estas caracteristicas unicas se han usado para reconocer el origen biologico de magnetitas terrestres naturales, pero el problema aparece cuando los mismos criterios de biogenicidad se aplican a magnetitas extraterrestres. La mayoria de los problemas se deben a que no esta claro si alguna de esas caracteristicas puede ser reproducida inorganicamente. La sintesis mediada por proteinas del magnetosoma parece ser la mejor aproximacion para obtener magnetitas similares a las de los magneto mejor aproximacion para obtener magnetitas similares a las de los magnetosomas, y dicha estrategia podria ayudar a clarificar cual es la biosignatura especifica de las bacterias magnetotacticas.
