N2 - The extremophile bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans is characterized by its ability to survive and sustain its activity at high levels of radiation and is considered an organism that might survive in extraterrestrial environments. In the present work, we studied the combined effects of temperature and chlorine-containing salts, with focus on perchlorate salts which have been detected at high concentrations in Martian regolith, on D. radiodurans activity (CO2 production rates) and viability after incubation in liquid cultures for up to 30 days. Reduced CO2 production capacity and viability was observed at high perchlorate concentrations (up to 10% w/v) during incubation at 0 or 25 °C. Both the metabolic activity and viability were reduced as the perchlorate and chloride salt concentration increased and temperature decreased, and an interactive effect of temperature and salt concentration on the metabolic activity was found. These results indicate the ability of D. radiodurans to remain metabolically active and survive in low temperature environments rich in perchlorate.
