Yes – this was a big fish story from some time ago until refuted… or was it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFAJ-1 here is the researcher at the center of it http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18770964 From: Kevin O'Malley Uhh, maybe that's not the best source?

We contact Louis Kervran to see if he has any of those golden sample eggs still in storage, and submit them to the intense chemical testing that would be able to sift through whether they've got KH*CO3 or CaCO3 in them. If we could contact old Louie … hmm… that would be an anomaly in itself since he died in 1983. However, there could be eggs in storage somewhere. This would be a great test to do. A large percentage of the eggshell would be potassium, in the form known as potash, so it should be possible to check this out. As I recall – researchers in the US military actually replicated this work but there were others who could not replicate. Not sure what the military interest was ? K-rations ? :-)
