Microbes can survive on the Red Planet, Mars

Frontiers in Microbiology has reported that some microbes that are found on Earth might temporarily survive on the Mars. The study was done by launching some microbes into Stratosphere where the conditions partially mimics the Mars. New way to expose bacteria and fungi on Mars-like conditions has been tested by using a scientific balloon to carry the experimental equipment up to stratosphere. The endurance of the microorganisms was tested by the researchers from NASA and German Aerospace Center.
