This study was conducted in 1976 as part of the implementation of Viking programs. At that time, scientists searched for traces life in Martian soil.
The scientist said that back in 1976, NASA recorded so called “microbial respiration”, as evidenced by the high an indicator of the level of oxygen in Martian soil. With two NASA research probes showed four positive test result, which reduces the likelihood of a hardware failure.
