Survival, metabolic activity, and ultrastructural damages of Antarctic black fungus in perchlorates media [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Evidence from recent Mars landers identified the presence of perchlorates salts at 1 wt % in regolith and their widespread distribution on the Martian surface that has been hypothesized as a critical chemical hazard for putative life forms.
