The search for alien life on Titan gets a new tool

Scientists modeled whether Titan’s subsurface ocean could support microbial life through fermentation of glycine, a simple amino acid thought to form in its atmosphere. Their results suggest such metabolism is theoretically possible but would only sustain an extremely sparse biosphere, shaping expectations for future life-detection missions like NASA’s Dragonfly.
