Hahn C, Hans M, Hein C, Mancinelli R, Mucklich F, Wirth R, et al.
Astrobiology . 2017 Nov; 17(12):1183-1191. PMID: 29116818
Microbial biofilms can lead to persistent infections and degrade a variety of materials, and they are notorious for their persistence and resistance to eradication. During long-duration space missions, microbial biofilms...

Jenniskens P, Shaddad M, Numan D, Elsir S, Kudoda A, Zolensky M, et al.
Nature . 2009 Mar; 458(7237):485-8. PMID: 19325630
In the absence of a firm link between individual meteorites and their asteroidal parent bodies, asteroids are typically characterized only by their light reflection properties, and grouped accordingly into classes....

Mancinelli R, White M
Adv Space Res . 2002 Jun; 26(12):2041-6. PMID: 12038490
It has been shown that UV-A (lambda=320-400 nm) and UV-B (lambda=280-320 nm) inhibit photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation and nitrification. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects, if any,...

Mancinelli R, Smernoff D, White M
Adv Space Res . 2001 Sep; 24(3):329-34. PMID: 11542541
Denitrification, the dissimilatory reduction of NO3- to N2O and N2, is found in a wide variety of organisms. In closed artificial systems, especially closed plant growth chambers, a significant loss...

Smernoff D, Mancinelli R
Adv Space Res . 2001 Sep; 24(3):319-28. PMID: 11542540
Space-based life support systems which include ecological components will rely on sophisticated hardware and software to monitor and control key system parameters. Autonomous closed artificial ecosystems are useful for research...

Bishop J, Froschl H, Mancinelli R
J Geophys Res . 2001 Sep; 103(E13):31457-76. PMID: 11542259
Determining the mineralogy of the Martian surface material provides information about the past and present environments on Mars which are an integral aspect of whether or not Mars was suitable...

Rothschild L, Mancinelli R
Nature . 2001 Mar; 409(6823):1092-101. PMID: 11234023
Each recent report of liquid water existing elsewhere in the Solar System has reverberated through the international press and excited the imagination of humankind. Why? Because in the past few...

Mancinelli R
Life Support Biosph Sci . 1996 Jan; 3(1-2):17-24. PMID: 11539154
Most of the nitrogen available to the biosphere exists as N2 in the atmosphere, and is not useful to most organisms until it is "fixed" either biologically or abiotically (by...

Bishop J, Pieters C, Burns R, Edwards J, Mancinelli R, Froschl H
Icarus . 1995 Sep; 117(1):101-19. PMID: 11538594
Spectroscopic analyses have shown that smectites enhanced in the laboratory with additional ferric species exhibit important similarities to those of the soils on Mars. Ferrihydrite in these chemically treated smectites...

Schwartz D, Mancinelli R, White M
Adv Space Res . 1995 Mar; 15(3):193-7. PMID: 11539224
An important question for exobiology is, did life evolve on Mars? To answer this question, experiments must be conducted on the martian surface. Given current mission constraints on mass, power,...
