Scientific paper

In the present study we have measured the amino acid content of Mars analogue soil samples, and related those results to the microbial and mineralogical data of the soil samples. These were performed on soils collected near the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in the Utah desert (Figure 1), during the EuroGeoMars 2009 campaign [2,3]. The Utah soil displays mineralogies similar to Mars, with sedimentary deposits of sands, evaporites, clays and gypsum [4].
