Fig. 3

a Relative (%) difference in mean concentration of leached REEs in the bulk fluid between biological experiments and non-biological controls showing microgravity, simulated Mars and Earth gravities on the International Space Station for the three microorganisms. b Ground (true Earth gravity control) experiment for the three microorganisms. Standard deviations reported in Supplemental Table 3, statistics reported in the main text.
