Introduction
My study focuses on the habitability of past and present-day Mars, with a specific emphasis on brines. These brines could represent the last possibility of water on or near the surface of Mars. To understand the habitability of these potential habitats, laboratory growth experiments involving various concentrations of salts present on Mars (e.g., chlorates and perchlorates) are conducted. Additionally, simulations of the Martian environment using a Mars simulation chamber are employed.

The Martian surface and shallow subsurface lacks stable liquid water, yet hygroscopic salts in the regolith may enable the transient formation of liquid brines. This study investigated the combined impact of water scarcity, UV exposure, and regolith depth on microbial survival under Mars-like environmental conditions. Both vegetative cells of Debar...
