Bacteria that grow optimally in a pH range of near neutral (neutralophiles) require robust mechanisms for cytoplasmic pH homeostasis in order to survive, and in some cases grow, during exposure to ...

The pH scale is used to measure the acidity of a fluid. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral, whereas a pH result below 7 is acidic and above 7 is alkaline. Urine has the widest ...
