Planet warming benefits of seeding with methanogens. Among the very first bacteria to thrive on Earth were the methanogens. Methanogens could combine the abundant hydrogen with the abundant carbon dioxide to make methane. Earth was very COLD then. The sun wasn't nearly as bright as it is now. By transforming carbon dioxide into methane, they increased its global warming potential by twenty times. A young cold planet needs a blanket, and methanogens provide one.

Tony's Ark - Bacteria to warm a cold planet. Surviving members of the most ancient lines of bacteria would be included to warm a cold, young planet. Methanogens, for example, would transform carbon dioxide into methane by combining it with hydrogen. The methane provides a powerful greenhouse gas. However, others among the most ancient bacteria could warm the planet in a very different way. By removing sun-blocking hydrogen sulfide from the atmosphere. Anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria that use hydrogen sulfide as reductant would transform it to sulfate. This removes a sun blocking gas to counter global dimming and allow warming. There are not enough oxidants available in the environment to support oxidation of hydrogen sulfide, but anoxygenic photosynthesis oxidizes hydrogen sulfide with needing to acquire an oxidant from the environment. The sulfate generated also opens up new niches for bacteria to use sulfate as oxidant to exploit the abundant organic carbon. Sulfate reducing bacteria would be given a niche for more life to thrive. Presumably, conditions of the planet and its star would be similar to that of the earth and sun about 4000 million years ago. This would mean the star has significantly lower luminosity than our sun today. It would be a frozen planet with liquid water only on the equator. It would need to have bacteria enhance global warming by adding methane, and diminish global dimming by removing hydrogen sulfide from the atmosphere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sealover wrote: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony's Ark - Bacteria to warm a cold planet. |

RE: 21% oxygen is NOT at equilbrium. It is in STEADY STATE.25-04-2022 07:26 | |
sealover★★★★☆ (1769) |
21% oxygen is NOT at equilibrium. It is in STEADY STATE. Equilibrium calculations can be used to predict concentrations of solutes, gases, acid base reactions, etc., etc. in a CLOSED SYSTEM with no input or export of energy. The atmosphere is not a closed system. Not at all. What keeps oxygen at 21%. Oxygen is constantly added to the atmosphere by photosynthesis, and constantly removed from the atmosphere by oxidation reactions. Combustion or respiration of organic matter are the dominant oxidation reactions. Given the conditions of the Earth right now, if anything happened to raise oxygen concentrations by even a percent or two, fires would burn with higher intensity. Another percent or two and even WET organic matter burns. This would ultimately consume enough oxygen to bring it back to 21% If something happened to suddenly REDUCE oxygen concentration even by a percent or two, fires would burn with far lower intensity. Decrease it by another percent or two and dry organic matter cannot sustain a flame. During the Carboniferous Era, oxygen concentrations were significantly higher. Most organic matter was in swamps in those days, with nice wet vegetation year round. Oxygen concentrations were high enough that very large arthropods could live, with their tracheid system capable of supplying oxygen into deep tissues because its atmospheric concentration was high enough. That was less than 400 million years ago. Very warm in those days. Things didn't get cold until just a few million years ago when plate tectonics moved Panama to cut off the global ocean current. That was when CO2 dropped way way down, to near 350 ppm That was when the cycle of ice ages began. CO2 in the open system of the atmosphere is not in equilibrium either. The steady state concentration drastically shifted a few million years ago. 21% oxygen is NOT at equilibrium. It is in STEADY STATE. |

RE: Tony's Ark - What about a lifeless OLD planet?25-04-2022 22:56 | |
sealover★★★★☆ (1769) |
Tony's Ark - What about a lifeless OLD planet? Over the last 4600 million years, the Earth spewed out a lot of hydrogen. Hydrogen is the lightest gas of them all. Most of it floated off into space. This was the irreversible oxidation of the planet's crust that would have happened with or without life. On Earth, life added more oxidants to the crust. In addition to losing the hydrogen reductant, photosynthesis was using photooxidation to generate oxidants. The ideal candidate for terraforming would be a planet like earth with a star like the sun in a state such as the earth and sun were 3000-4000 million years ago. But we could also terraform a lifeless OLD planet. We couldn't use methanogens. There would be plenty of carbon dioxide, but the hydrogen would be all gone. We wouldn't WANT methanogens to do their thing there anyway. The star is older and more luminous. The last thing life would need is to add a powerful greenhouse gas to the atmosphere and overheat the planet. The older the planet we find, the brighter its star will be. An old planet would have few available reductants in the environment to be an energy source for organisms via oxidation reactions. Life there would have to depend of photosynthesis to create any high energy reductants. Tony's Ark will carry a very different payload to a warm, lifeless, old planet with a very bright star.

Tony's Ark - Cyanobacteria for Oxygenic Photosynthesis To seed life on an OLD planet, the first organisms would have to generate their own high energy reductants. There would not be enough chemical reductants left in the environment to support life through oxidation reactions. Anoxygenic photosynthesis, using reductants such as hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, ferrous iron, arsenite or even nitrite would not be possible. Cyanobacteria can use the energy from sunlight to tear water molecules apart and generate hydrogen, a high energy reductant. That hydrogen can reduce carbon dioxide into organic carbon. At the reaction center for oxygenic photosynthesis a manganese atom is suspended. Photons funneled to the reaction center via the light harvesting apparatus photooxidize the manganese to a high oxidation state. This creates enough voltage to yank an electron off a water molecule causing it to fall apart. Generating hydrogen high energy reductant and oxygen gas oxidant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sealover wrote: |

RE: Tony's Ark - Multiple Redox Couples to Create Multiple Niches.26-04-2022 06:08 | |
sealover★★★★☆ (1769) |
Tony's Ark - Multiple Redox Couples to Create Multiple Niches. Among the organisms sent to seed a distant planet would be chemoautotrophs. Most of these are bacteria that gain their energy through oxidation of mineral reductants. They make organic carbon by reducing inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, carbonate). "Autotrophs" means they feed themselves with organic carbon that they synthesize from inorganic carbon. Some reductants, such as hydrogen, are strong and yield high energy upon oxidation with a strong oxidant. Other reductants, such as ammonium, are weak and yield little energy upon oxidation with a strong oxidant. A strong reductant such as hydrogen can yield enough energy to support life even when coupled with very weak oxidants, such as carbon dioxide. Methanogens combine hydrogen with carbon dioxide to make methane and provide a small energy yield. A strong oxidant, such as nitrate, can yield enough energy to support life even when coupled with a very weak reductant such as ammonium. Anammox bacteria combine ammonium and nitrate to make nitrogen gas. And the list of potential redox couples is long, with many niches for oxidizers and reducers to couple many different reductants and oxidants. Oxygen is not included here, although it is an even stronger oxidant than nitrate, because there would be no oxygen on the planet to be terraformed. Not for a very, very, very long time. Indeed, if the goal is to generate an oxygen atmosphere so that humans can eventually colonize the planet, it would be pointless. We could never survive the journey anyway. Not even frozen embryos to be raised by nannybots. By the time our terraformed planet has free oxygen in its atmosphere, our sun will have expanded into a red giant and the Earth will be toast. Humans will almost certainly gone extinct long before that. So, why bother? Is there enough intrinsic value in life to justify the effort to extend its range to a new planet? We wouldn't be doing it for our OWN benefit. |

RE: Correction: Global Warming Potential of Methane with Oxygen Present.26-04-2022 23:30 | |
sealover★★★★☆ (1769) |
Correction: Global Warming Potential of Methane with Oxygen Present. Global warming potential (GWP) is a quantitative variable that accounts for both inherent infrared absorption capacity of a molecule AND its mean residence time in the atmosphere. In the atmosphere of today's earth, methane has about 20x the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. In a primordial atmosphere, there would be no oxygen present. The inherent infrared absorption capacity of methane or carbon dioxide would be the same as today. The mean residence time for either molecule would be much much longer. Without any oxygen, methane would stick around for millenia. Without biological activity to reduce it to organic carbon (photosynthesis, chemoautotrophy), carbon dioxide would stick around a lot longer. And without coral reefs present, the carbon dioxide absorbed by the sea would not ultimately end up as calcium in reefs, so the sea would not continuously remove CO2 from the atmosphere. So it wouldn't be a 20:1 difference in global warming potential for the two gases on a young planet to be terraformed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sealover wrote: |

A trace gas, which is critical to all life on the planet. Methane, is a lot more plentiful, and 20 time more potent greenhouse gas. Time is short, to avert a planet scorching catastrophe. Why go after CO2 first? All the wasted time, resources, screwing up the world economy, with little to no hope of actually accomplishing any significant progress, until we reduce methane emissions. The most plentiful, and potent, should have be the top priority. Methane is produced naturally, but humans also produce quite a bit as well. I'm not talking about Taco Bell, or manure pile either. Landfills produce huge quantities. It would have been simpler, and actually beneficial to work of methane reduction first. Methane makes for a pretty good fuel. More CO2, great for plants. More food for every living thing. |

1.7 ppm methane, 420 ppm carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide and methane both qualify as "trace gases" in the atmosphere. There is more than 200 times as much carbon dioxide as methane in the atmosphere. With a GWP ratio of abut 20:1, this would make methane responsible for roughly 10% and carbon dioxide around 90% of the greenhouse gas impact between the two of them. But that is only counting TWO of the many greenhouse gases. Water vapor is more than just a trace gas. Water vapor as a greenhouse gas deserves a thread of its own. =============================================== HarveyH55 wrote:sealover wrote: |
