exobiotic

Work historically performed by toxicologists has provided an impressive list of endogenous and exobiotic compounds termed peroxisome proliferators (PP) which were so named for their ability following chronic high dose administration to rodents, to increase the number and activities of an essential intracellular organelle termed the peroxisome.

For example, terran contamination could result in the introduction of exobiotic organisms, the initiation of chemical reactions or changes, or the mutation of either 12 indigenous or exogenous organisms.
