basicly nothimg. no bacteria not anything. but now scientists believe there may be something at its poles -ORIGINAL ANSWER

They have not found anything recognisable as life, nor direct evidence of recognisable life having existed there previously. What they have found is a whole bunch of soluble nutrients (such as potassium, magnesium and chloride) that would mean the dirt on Mars could support Earth's vegetation. Along with the evidence that liquid water once flowed on the surface of Mars, this suggests abiogenesis COULD have occured on Mars. Whether it did or not, and why, is still not known -we literally are just scratching the surface of Mars' history. This discovery also means that colonisation of Mars is more feasable as native Mars soil could be used to grow Earth's vegetation.

How many type of soil tests in roads and bridges?

There are several types of soil tests commonly conducted for roads and bridges, including Atterberg limits, compaction tests, shear strength tests, and density tests. Additionally, geotechnical investigations may involve more specialized tests like cone penetration tests (CPT) and standard penetration tests (SPT). These tests help assess soil properties, stability, and suitability for construction. The specific tests chosen depend on project requirements and soil conditions.
