Transposon and Deletion Mutagenesis of Genes Involved in Perchlorate Reduction in
mBio, 2014 Although much work on the biochemistry of the key enzymes of bacterial perchlorate reduction, chlorite dismutase, and perchlorate reductase has been published, understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this metabolism has been somewhat hampered by the

Molecular adaptations specific to extreme halophilic archaea could promote high perchlorate tolerance [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyPerchlorate is a strong chaotropic agent that causes macromolecule denaturation, DNA damage, and oxidative stress. However, perchlorate deliquescence is thought to promote the formation of liquid salt brines, even at hyper-arid and cold environments ...

Perchlorate and Agriculture on Mars
Soil Systems, 2021 Perchlorate (ClO4−) is globally enriched in Martian regolith at levels commonly toxic to plants. Consequently, perchlorate in Martian regolith presents an obstacle to developing agriculture on Mars.
