What Do These Crystals Mean for Life?

What do these crystals mean, if anything, for the possibility of biological activity on and on imost u sed in celidis on titan? That's a great question, and something we're interested in exploring too. I'm actually working with a student at us c who is studying a certain type of micro organism that eats a setyline. A cetyline is one of these molecules that we found is really prevalent in titan minerals. We know its presence in titan's atmosphere and on its surface. And so one idea is that these minerals could act as reservoirs, basically wags, to sequester away this particular molecule  and make it available for communities of life that could sustain themselves
