What have tests found in Mars' soil?

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.
