The fungus termed Fusarium alkanophyllum Palacios-Prü & V. Marcano is able to grow in and degrade several saturated hydrocarbons in the presence of UV radiation at 253.7nm or 354.5nm, H2O2, and CO2, with little or no oxygen and with minimum water requirements showing several phenotypes and optimal growth. Further, this species is also able to produce important amounts of metabolic water from the substrate. Therefore, different simulation experiments were done to evaluate the biological, physiological and biochemistry responses taking into account conditions similar to solar and extrasolar environments having various CO2 contents and occupying the habitable zone around the main sequence stars with spectral types in the F to mid-K range with L(L/)~1. Solar and extrasolar environments similar to those of the jovian satellites and Titan were also considered. Accordingly, the growth of F. alkanophyllum was inhibited in /
