Armstrong, RA 2003: Could lichens grow on Mars?. - Microbiologist 4: 30-33. [RLL Suppl.]
Keywords: ENDOLITHIC LICHENS/ MARTIAN METEORITES/ VIKING 1 MISSION/ ANTARCTICA
Abstract: Lichens meet some but not all of the criteria that must be fulfilled by inhabitants of Mars.They could withstand many aspects of the hostile environment especially if they live within the rocks as they do in the dry valleys of Antarctica. Lichens are dual organisms and we would have to presuppose the successful establishment of algae and fungi on Mars. The lack of liquid water on the surface and the problem of obtaining sufficient nitrogen resources are particular problems for Martian lichens.
