Micro-organisms under a Simulated Martian Environment

Naturevolume 193, page497 (1962)Cite this article

Abstract

MANY investigators speculating on the environmental conditions of Mars have concluded that some form of life exists there1–5. Fultonet al.6,7 have shown that several (unidentified) species of bacteria are able to survive under a simulated Martian atmosphere.
