Researchers exposed two lichen species to Mars-like atmospheric conditions for five hours—and one performed impressively.

Lichens are true pioneers, setting themselves up in environments so harsh as to be considered virtually barren.

Lead author Kaja Skubała explained, “Our study is the first to show that the fungal partner in lichen symbiosis can keep its metabolism going while under Mars-like conditions. We found that D.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that certain lichen species can survive Mars-like conditions, including ...

A new study, published in IMA Fungus, reveals that lichens not only survive but also function in environments similar to those on the red planet. Such a discovery flies in the face of previously-held ...
