Gases found are the same as those produced by algae on Earth
AIUI, the sensors used for this discover don't look for just _one_ gas, but as many as possible. So Oxygen is probably included in that list.
Life needs more than just oxygen gas in the atmosphere to thrive. The right combination of gasses is a better signal that life could be there versus just the presence of one gas.
