Résumé
The first cells were plausibly bounded by membranes assembled from fatty acids with at least 8 carbons. Although the presence of fatty acids on the early Earth is widely assumed within the astrobiology community, there is no consensus regarding their origin and abundance. In this Review, we highlight three possible sources of fatty acids: (1) delivery by carbonaceous meteorites, (2) synthesis on metals delivered by impactors, and (3) electrochemical synthesis by spark discharges. We also discuss fatty acid synthesis by UV or particle irradiation, gas-phase ion-molecule reactions, and aqueous redox reactions. We compare estimates for the total mass of fatty acids supplied to Earth by each source during the Hadean eon after an extremely massive asteroid impact that would have reset Earth's fatty acid inventory. We find that synthesis on iron-rich surfaces derived from the massive impactor in contact with an impact-generated reducing atmosphere could have contributed ∼10
