Molecular characterization of rock microbial communities from the Mars analogue MDRS
Abstract
Several rock samples have been collected as part of a Mars field analogue campaign (NASA DOMEX-ILEWG uroMoonMars) at Mars Desert Research StationMDRS area (Utah Desert, USA). This report details the microbial diversity derived from culture-independent techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis.
