Cultivation of halophilic archaea in shallow subsurface martian conditions has implications for extant life on Mars

Adam Robinson, S M McQuaig-Ulrich, Tyler Dondero, Aaron J. Celestian, Scott M. Perl

This study shows Haloferax volcanii can grow under simulated Martian conditions, including low pressure, high salinity, anoxia, and oxidizing chemistry, supporting the potential for microbial life in shallow subsurface Martian environments.
