The identification of sulfide oxidation as a potential metabolism driving primary production on late Noachian Mars
Abstract The transition of the martian climate from the wet Noachian era to the dry Hesperian (4.1–3.0 Gya) likely resulted in saline surface waters that were rich in sulfur species. Terrestrial analogue environments that possess a similar chemistry to these proposed waters can be used to develop an...
