Life as we know it until now has big difficulties outside goldilocks zone. It would theoretically be possible to make microbes (or fish?) that float high in Venus atmosphere, if we put money into 200 years of research, but no way life as we know it could ever break up and "eat" an asteroid.
But I still think it's impossible on an asteroid. No nitrogen, very little sunlight, wrong temperature, zero pressure, etc. They are already at their limit on Earth.
