Bacterial growth tolerance to concentrations of chlorate and perchlorate salts relevant to Mars

Alsoudi, Amer F.; Farhat, Omar; Chen, Fei; Clark, Benton C.; Schneegurt, Mark A. (Cambridge University Press, 2017-07)

The Phoenix lander at Mars polar cap found appreciable levels of (per)chlorate salts, a mixture of perchlorate and chlorate salts of Ca, Fe, Mg and Na at levels of similar to 0.6% in regolith. These salts are highly ...
Relationships between sucretolerance and salinotolerance in bacteria from hypersaline environments and their implications for the exploration of Mars and the icy worlds

Fredsgaard, Casper; Moore, Donald B.; Alsoudi, Amer F.; Crisler, James D.; Chen, Fei; Clark, Benton C.; Schneegurt, Mark A. (Cambridge University Press, 2017-04)

The most extremely osmotolerant microbial isolates are fungi from high-sugar environments that tolerate the lowest water activity (0.61) for growth yet reported. Studies of osmotolerant bacteria have focused on halotolerance ...
