Fig. 7

Model for a hypothetical sulfur-cycling microbial community similar to the GH microbial community in a theoretical Martian environment such as subsurface sulfate brines. Putative Martian sources of energy and carbon are indicated in red. SRBs refer to S-reducing bacteria and SOBs refers to S-oxidizing bacteria. The asterisk indicates phototrophic metabolism, which would be relevant only in very near-surface or surface environments on ancient Mars
