[Xerophytic microorganisms multiplying under conditions close to Martian ones].
The xerophytic cultures Bacillus megaterium and Mycococcus ruber can grow in the imitated Martian conditions. Therefore, they are resistant to the extreme factors of the environment: the composition of atmosphere, low pressure, the maximum hygroscopicity of a substrate, periodic freezing-thawing.
