Zusammenfassung:On the basis of biomimetic, phylometabolic, and thermodynamic analysis of modern CO 2 assimilation pathways, a paleophenotypic reconstruction of ancient autotrophic metabolism systems was carried out. As a chemical basis for CO 2 fixation paleometabolism, metabolic networks capable of self-reproduction and evolution are considered, and the reversibility of the transformation reactions of its intermediates is the most important factor in self-development of this network. The substances of the C–H–O system, paragenetically associated with hydrocarbons, create a phase space, which is a set of universal intermediates of the autotrophic paleometabolism chemical network. The concept of two strategies for the origin and development of autotrophic carbon fixation paleometabolism in the oxidized (CO 2 ) and reduced (CH 4 ) redox regimes of degassing of the ancient Earth is proposed. It was shown that P, T, and the redox conditions of hydrothermal systems of the early Archean were favorable for the development of primary methanotrophic metabolism.
