And, it seems, it might be quite probable that it did!
A new article, published in the Journal Of Cosmology makes the case that deposits on certain Carbonaceous Meteorites are indeed Fossils of Cyanobacteria.
And, further, that these fossils, deeply embedded within the meteorite, are not contaminants from Earth.

Cyanobacteria, if you recall, are about the oldest and most primitive form of life on Earth, generally getting the credit for giving us our atmosphere, and surviving just about everywhere. Including, apparently, in meteoroids.
This is terribly exciting news if it's accurate. The Journal of Cosmology is seeking responses, and I'll be watching them in the coming days to see how it pans out. If life is anywhere else outside our planet, then the odds are it would be everywhere else. If these findings are confirmed the implication is that the universe is teeming with life.
