Can Halophilic and Psychrophilic Microorganisms Modify the Freezing/Melting Curve of Cold Salty Solutions? Implications for Mars Habitability (2020)
Garcia-Descalzo, Laura; Gil-Lozano, Carolina; Muñoz-Iglesias, Victoria; Prieto-Ballesteros, Olga; Azua-Bustos, Armando; Fairén, Alberto G. (NLM (Medline), 2020-09-01)We present the hypothesis that microorganisms can change the freezing/melting curve of cold salty solutions by protein expression, as it is known that proteins can affect the liquid-to-ice transition, an ability that could ... -
