A microbial oasis in the hypersaline Atacama subsurface discovered by a life detector chip: implications for the search for life on Mars
V Parro, G de Diego-Castilla, M Moreno-Paz… - Astrobiology, 2011 - liebertpub.com
Abstract The Atacama Desert has long been considered a good Mars analogue for testing
instrumentation for planetary exploration, but very few data (if any) have been reported
about the geomicrobiology of its salt-rich subsurface. We performed a Mars analogue drilling
campaign next to the Salar Grande (Atacama, Chile) in July 2009, and several cores and
powder samples from up to 5 m deep were analyzed in situ with LDChip300 (a Life Detector
Chip containing 300 antibodies). Here, we show the discovery of a hypersaline subsurface …
