Résonance paramagnétique électronique de biosignatures
carbonées au sein de roches siliceuses primitives:
De la vie primitive sur Terre à la recherche de traces de vie fossile
The oldest traces of primitive terrestrial life are fossilized form of carbonaceous microstructures trapped in microcrystalline siliceous rocks (flint , chert in English) . The techniques typically used for their detection (light and electron microscopy , Raman spectroscopy , . ) mainly the surface ( or near surface area ) and often require sample preparation. In situ detection of the non-invasive and primitive carbonaceous material is however possible if spectroscopy penetrating radiation such as microwave or radio frequencies is used. We have recently shown interest in the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR ) for the search of the first traces of primitive life, and to study the structure and origin of carbonaceous matter in carbonaceous meteorites , among the objects the most primitive solar system (1-11) . Based on the detection of unpaired electrons in organic radicals or defects / impurities in the inorganic matrix spins, this technique can detect, analyze and date without any preparation or extract fossil carbon material , even very scarce within Archean flint (up to 3.5 billion years) ( 3,10 ) . By means of magnetic field gradients superimposed on the static magnetic field , it is possible to produce 3D images of the distribution of carbon in the rock ( 5 ) . The apparatus generally X-band EPR (~ 9.4 GHz ) with a magnetic field ( ~ 350 mT ) requiring a large electromagnet , so they are well suited to the study of terrestrial rocks or Martian rocks in the context of a sample return mission . They are absolutely not adapted for spatial uses in this configuration. With financial support from CNES , we currently carry ( LASIR , Lille) EPR apparatus operating at very low frequency (250 MHz) with ultra light weight to be adaptable to a lander for a mission to Mars. However, the large frequency difference between the two devices requires a thorough study of the EPR at very low frequency of carbonate rocks , for which there is currently no The thesis proposed several aspects in the study of Archean rocks containing traces of probable or The goal is to refine the methodology RPE in five directions : 1) Identify indisputable magnetic biosignatures , to distinguish between a biological carbon and abiotic carbon ( chemical reaction, decomposition of carbonates, meteoritic carbon etc. .) ; 2) Improve the dating method of the RPE that we recently proposed carbonaceous material (3, 10 ) to distinguish between contemporary primitive life of the rock formation , and carbon contamination from the rear by endolithic bacteria for example ; 3) Identify specific biosignatures primitive metabolism. These studies will require the synthesis of analogues (encapsulated biomolecules and artificially aged silica and bacteria). 4) Search and study of inorganic paramagnetic potential biosignatures , such as VO2 + ions vanadyles 5) Undertake studies RPE very low frequency (250 MHz) of Archean rocks to assess the potential of the equipment under construction for the study of carbon and inorganic biosignatures in Martian Laboratories will be the thesis: This will be done in LASIR Lille (H. Vezin) and
Chemistry-ParisTech (D. Gourier) for the RPE, in collaboration with the laboratory of UPMC
BIOEMCO (S. Derenne) for primitive metabolism and the CBM Orleans (F. Westall) for the Candidate Profile: The candidate should preferably be a physical chemist materials.
Interest for spectroscopy is highly desirable. An interest for exobiology is a plus.
