Astrophysicists have seriously proposed, recently, that Venusian clouds may be inhabited by microbes with a very different metabolism from those on Earth, as an explanation for some chemical anomolies in the upper atmosphere. Assuming they don't exist, sufficiently advanced genengineers could presumably create them. With especially advanced engineering it should be possible to create life to seed Titan, Europa, Enceladus, and any other moon with a subsurface water/ammonia ocean.
