Direct Fluorescent Labeling of Microorganisms as a Possible Life-Detection Technique

Microorganisms and selected proteinaceous substances were directly tagged with fluorescein isothiocyanate. This approach suggested a possible application for detection of extraterrestrial life. A stable and apparently specific linkage was formed with protein, and nonprotein substances were readily destained. Soil and atmospheric debris did not exhibit any significant affinity for the dye.
