I know Lavazza
I meant to suggest the message was probably as important as finding water. But since it's about Astrobiology. My bet would be on a chemical compound associated with life. Not something loosely related like oxygen, something one could consider the smoking gun.
I don't think they have detected single celled organisms. For some reason they have not got the equipment to do this on mars as far as I know. Even the rovers sent to search for life only had multipurpose equipment and no direct measurements.
