Two desert cyanobacterial strains, Chroococcidiopsis sp. CCMEE 010 and CCMEE 130, capable far-red light photoacclimation (FaRLiP), were investigated for the stability of biosignatures after six years of desiccation. Biosignature detectability was demonstrated by confocal laser scanning microscopy and Raman spectroscopy thus highlighting that these two FaRLiP cyanobacteria are a novel reservoir of an array of pigments, encompassing canonical chlorophyll a, far-red shifted chlorophylls, phycobilins and carotenoids. The recorded signals were comparable to those of dried cells of Chroococcidiopsis sp. CCMEE 029, CCMEE 057 and CCMEE 064, not capable of FaRLiP acclimation and previously reported for biosignature stability and survivability after exposure to space and Mars-like conditions during the BIOMEX (BIOlogy and Mars EXperiment) and BOSS (Biofilm Organisms Surfing Space) low Earth orbit missions. Since infrared-light driven photosynthesis has implications for the habitability of Mars as well as exoplanets, the stability of far-red shifted chlorophylls in dried Chroococcidiopsis is a prerequisite for future experimentations under simulated planetary conditions in the laboratory or directly into space. It is anticipated that post-flight investigations of FaRLiP cyanobacteria as part of the BioSigN (Bio-Signatures and habitable Niches) space mission will contribute to gather novel insights into biosignature degradation/stability and thus prepare future planetary exploration missions to Mars. In addition, the scored viability of strains CCMEE 010 and CCMEE 130 after prolonged desiccation is relevant to investigate life endurance under deep space conditions, as planned by the BioMoon mission that aims to expose dried and rehydrated extremophiles on the Moon surface after exposure to deep space.
