Abstract: This site features a scientific article associated with the Mars Global Surveyor Project, reporting data collected from a study analyzing Mono Lake as a terrestrial analog to Mars. The study is centered on two classes of biomarker compounds -- amino acids and fatty acids -- and on the microbial diversity of Mono Lake. A table illustrates the mole % fatty acids in Mono Lake sediments.
