1970 Research in cold adapted microbes for use by NASA.

Studies the limits of microbial life in exDeming's research primarily involves the study of cold-adapted microbes gathered from Arctic sea ice samples. The bacterium Colwellia demingiae (type strain ACAM 459) is named after her. Cold-adapted microbial life has been a research topic of astrobiologists searching for life on Europa and Mars, due to similar cold climates. As such, Deming's research has been used as a reference for institutions such as NASA for what life may be like on Europa and Mars.
