Earth microorganisms can live on Mars

This is the result of research by American biologists, published in the journal Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres (Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres).

Some microorganisms can live on Mars.

Accordingly, scientists conducted several studies on Methanothermobacter wolfeii, Methanosarcina barkeri, Methanobacterium formicicum and Methanococcus maripaludis - those that are viable in the absence of air and produce methane.

Experimental results show that these microorganisms are able to survive under similar low pressure conditions on Mars, only 6/1000 pressures on Earth. This means they can live on Mars.

Scientists are still continuing their studies, including checking whether these microorganisms can survive at temperatures near -100 degrees Celsius as on Mars.
