Most planetary scientists agree to be extreme conditions of Mars Lack of canvab as we know. New research offers us to assess the stiffness of the likens.
Researchers in Poland said that some of the Lichen species remain biologically active, they could endure some of the species like Mars. As a learn The IMA Fungus magazine, published on Monday, challenges the work, the surface of the surface of the Mars, in the current situation, inability to host any life.
Researchers tried two Lichen types: Diploschists muscorum and Cetaria Aculeata. Lichens Strange, alien-looking life forms consisting of different organisms: fungi and moss and / or cyanobacteria (a type of photosynthetic bacteria) in a narrow biological partnership. Are resistant to surprisingly harsh environments, in fact, developing in many different habitats, including lichens Freezing tundras and steppes.
Researchers were exposed Mr. Moss and C. Aculeata In 5 hours, the atmospheric conditions such as Mars, including simulated air pressure and temperature changes. They also simulated the amount of X-ray radiation where the columnar solar activity can live in a year of solar activity. Mr. Moss It is performed significantly well C. Aculeata: His fungus is kept metabolism (chemical reactions of energy that gives energy) throughout the experience.
“Our research is the first in an environment in an environment,” Kaja Skubała, Jagiellonian University in Jagiellonian University, a leadership author, the leadership is the first to be active in Kaja Skubała. statement (PENSOFT publishes IMA fungus). “We found that Diploschists muscorum He was able to implement metabolic processes and effectively activate defense mechanisms. “
The results show that Mr. Moss potently can live on the surface of Mars. This research acknowledges that Ionizing radiation (high energy radiation), including x-ray and gamma rays, a definite obstacle to life.
“These findings are expanding our understanding of biological processes under the simulated Martian terms and discover how hydrated organisms respond to ionizing radiation – said Skubała,” said Skubała. Wet organisms are organisms with a sufficient amount of water to maintain biological functions of compositions. “As a result, this research is deepening in this research, which is the potential for lichen adaptation and the colonization of its outside environment.”
When I know that NASA does not want to colonize the NASA with Lichen and Mars, this study opens the door to re-think that one day could live outside a day.
