Preservation of Microorganisms (Chroococcidiopsis sp. 029) in Salt Minerals under Low Atmospheric Pressure: Application to Life Detection on Mars
Salt minerals on Mars represent a promising target for investigating potential past surface and subsurface life. Terrestrial salt minerals have been shown to incorporate microorganisms within crystals. However, the effect of Mars’s low atmospheric pressure on the preservation of microorganisms in sa...
