Influence of Martian regolith analogs on the activity and growth of methanogenic archaea, with special regard to long-term desiccation

Methanogenic archaea have been studied as model organisms for possible life on Mars for several reasons: they can grow lithoautotrophically by using hydrogen and carbon dioxide as energy and carbon sources, respectively; they are anaerobes; and they evolved at a time when conditions on early Earth a...
