or on the surface of Titan are a far cry from the compounds used in the Krebbs Cycle.

If the materials on Titan could be studied in greater detail, I would not be surprised to find a great variety of organics existing in the brew up there. I'd bet a dollar that we would find some extremely intereting chemical species, some of which may be substances though only related to metabolic processes. A month with an organic analytical lab on the surface would yield some wildly unexpected results.

Speculation, not supported by evidence. Another no-no.
