Geochemical bio-signatures in Martian analogue basaltic environments using laboratory experiments and thermochemical modelling

The identification of geochemical bio-signatures is important for assessing whether life existed on early Mars. In this paper, experimental microbiology and thermochemical modelling were combined to identify potential inorganic bio-signatures for life detection on early Mars. An analogue mixed micro...
