Resumo: Magnetotactic bacteria are gram negative, capable of responding to magnetic fields and have interesting characteristics related to their biophysical and metabolic versatility. The aim of this research is to suggest that these microorganisms, due to these characteristics, may participate together in the terraforming process with other photosynthetic extremophilic microorganisms. Magnetotactic has a cosmopolitan distribution and is ubiquitous in microaerobic aquatic environments. Although magnetotactic bacteria are historically related to the ALH 84001 meteorite as a species of biosignature or as a possible fossil record from Mars, this problem will not be addressed in this paper. A brief review of the magnetotactic bacteria and how they may be related in a possible terraforming process on Mars or other planets will be briefly presented. Finally, it is important to emphasize that this theme has evolved greatly over time, from a science fiction story to a truly scientific domain and context. Finally, it is hoped that this work will serve as motivation and basis for future research in order to contribute to the spread of astrobiology.

El objetivo de esta investigación es sugerir que estos microorganismos debido a estas características, es posible que estos microorganismos puedan participar en conjunto del proceso de terraformación con otros microorganismos extremófilos fotosintéticos. Las magnetotácticas tienen una distribución cosmopolita y son omnipresentes en ambientes acuáticos microaerobios. Aunque las bacterias magnetotácticas estén históricamente relacionadas con el meteorito ALH 84001 como una especie de biofirma o como un posible registro fósil marciano, este tema no será abordado. Se presentará de manera sucinta una breve revisión sintetizada sobre las bacterias magnetotácticas y cómo podrían relacionarse en un posible proceso de terraformación en Marte o en otros planetas. Finalmente, es importante enfatizar que este tema ha evolucionado mucho con el tiempo, de ser una historia de ciencia ficción a un dominio y contexto verdaderamente científico. Por fin, se espera que de la discusión este trabajo sirva como motivación y base para futuras investigaciones, con el fin de contribuir a la difusión de la astrobiología.As bactérias magnetotáticas são gram-negativas, capazes de responder a campos magnéticos e apresentam características interessantes relacionadas à sua versatilidade biofísica e metabólica. O objetivo desta pesquisa é sugerir que esses microrganismos, devido a essas características, possam participar juntamente do processo de terraformação com outros microrganismos extremofílicos fotossintéticos. A magnetotática tem uma distribuição cosmopolita e é onipresente em ambientes aquáticos microaeróbicos. Embora as bactérias magnetotáticas sejam historicamente relacionadas ao meteorito ALH 84001 como uma espécie de bioassinatura ou como um possível registro fóssil de Marte, esse problema não será abordado neste trabalho. Uma breve revisão das bactérias magnetotáticas e como elas podem ser relacionadas em um possível processo de terraformação em Marte ou em outros planetas será apresentada de forma sucinta. Por fim, é importante enfatizar que esse tema evoluiu muito ao longo do tempo, de uma história de ficção científica para um domínio e contexto verdadeiramente científico. Finalmente, espera-se que este trabalho sirva de motivação e base para futuras pesquisas, a fim de contribuir para a disseminação da astrobiologia.Research, Society and Development2020-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/196210.33448/rsd-v9i2.1962Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 2; e55921962Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 2; e55921962Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 2; e559219622525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1962/1689Copyright (c) 2019 Bruno Leonardo Nascimento-Dias, Bruna Mayatoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNascimento-Dias, Bruno Leonardo do2020-08-20T18:08:48Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1962Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:26:47.989142Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
