    The samples were named John Klein and Cumberland. Microbes could be living on Mars by obtaining energy from chemical imbalances between minerals in a process called chemolithotrophy which means “eating rock.” [41] However, in this process only a very tiny amount of carbon is involved — much less than was found at Yellowknife Bay. [42] [43]
