Feasibility of Detecting Bioorganic Compounds in Enceladus Plumes with the Enceladus Organic Analyzer

Enceladus presents an excellent opportunity to detect organic molecules that are relevant for habitability as well as bioorganic molecules that provide evidence for extraterrestrial life because Enceladus' plume is composed of material from the subsurface ocean that has a high habitability potential and significant organic content. A primary challenge is to send instruments to Enceladus that ca...

Concept for Remote Chemical Analysis of Enceladus Amino Acid Chirality

Introduction: A concept for an astrobiology science instrument is described here in the context of a future mission to Enceladus [1]. Water jets from the south polar region of this moon form a plume and supply material to the Saturn e-ring [2, 3]. By utilizing remote chemical analysis of free amino acid chirality, the Enceladus Amino Acid Sampler (EAAS) is designed to address the fundamental as...

Effects of Some Amino Acids and Organic Acids on Enzymatic Activity and Longevity of Dianthus caryophyllus cv. Tessino at Pre-Harvest Stage

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of pre-harvest application of some amino acids and organic acids on enzymatic traits and longevity of carnation flowers (Dianthus caryophyllus cv. Tessino) based on completely randomized design with 13 treatments and three...
