Give me an example of a microbe you think could reasonably be originating from a separate tree of life?
I can't. If that's the definition we're working with then I doubt there is a shadow biosphere.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Well we don't have to stick to this one, so what other definition of shadow biosphere would you find interesting that has better chances?

Sorry Alex, out of my element here. Had to Wiki some terms and self educate. Don't know if any have better or worse chances. The Wiki hypothetical's seem remotely possible, my mind is not made up on how probable.

Do you have some that you think are more probable?

Always willing to learn.

Not really, I was just thinking you would like to discuss a different notion of shadow biosphere that you had in mind.
