Newly discovered microbes may give scientists a blueprint for the kinds of potential life forms that could exist on Mars.

New research from McGill University has discovered alive and active microbes in Canadian permafrost that could provide a blueprint for the kinds of life fo | Space

Researchers from McGill University have discovered microbes in a spring in Arctic Canada that has such unique conditions, it could allow for better understanding of the kind of life that may be possible on Mars. "We have this really cool, super salty, very cold and very oxygen limited environment

Scientists show how microbes living in a salty spring near the North Pole might resemble those that could have survived on the Red Planet—or in ocean worlds.

The researchers found that the microorganisms can survive by eating and breathing simple inorganic compounds of a kind that have been detected on Mars, such as methane and carbon dioxide.

Extreme microbes living deep beneath the permafrost at one of the coldest and saltiest water springs on Earth could provide a blueprint for life on Mars.

Once again, life has been found in an environment that would be deeply inhospitable to most organisms living on this planet.

Scientists assume that some kind of life forms exist on Mars after discovering active microbial communities, as referenced by the study of the permafrost in Canada's High Arctics.
