• Pigmentation as a survival strategy for ancient and modern photosynthetic microbes under high ultraviolet stress on planetary surfaces (2002, background): “The diversity of pigmentation in cyanobacteria, the potential pinnacle of evolution on Mars, is summarized in WynnWilliams et al. (1999) and Wynn-Williams (2000).”
• Microbially induced deterioration of architectural heritages: routes and mechanisms involved (2012, background): “Other survival strategies which include use of water stored within substrate [84], formation of compounds conferring resistance to drought [85] and synthesis of protective UV shield [84,86] are also known.”
