Re: On Martian Microbe Hazards

I was referring to both types of autotrophs. The evolutionary rational for then seldom being hazardous is that they produce the organic chemicals they need from inorganic constituents. They do not need to attack other organisms to meet their needs.

I know fungi can be hazardous and I believe some algae produce toxins. However I don't believe their are any algae that physically attack us or Lichens that do so. The algae in the lichen make it at least a partial autotroph.

Regards,
Mark
