Life on Earth can be divided into life on the surface made possible by photosynthesis and subsurface life with chemical energy as the driving force. An understanding of both environments is central to our understanding of the origin of life, the search for novel microbial species in the subsurface and for extraterrestrial life or life signatures. In this manuscript, the surface and subsurface worlds are examined with a focus on the origin or assembly of bacterial life.
地球上的生命可以分为通过光合作用得以存在的地表生命以及以化学能为驱动力的地下生命。了解这两种环境对于我们理解生命起源、在地下寻找新型微生物物种以及寻找外星生命或生命迹象至关重要。在本论文中，将对地表和地下世界进行研究，重点关注细菌生命的起源或聚集。
