Extremophilic Microbes Proton Pumping Mechanisms

A fascinating aspect of alkaliphiles is their ability to maintain a neutral internal pH despite residing in highly acidic environments. This remarkable feat is accomplished through sophisticated ion extrusion mechanisms that efficiently remove excess protons from the cytoplasm. One such mechanism involves the plasma membrane proton pump, an enzyme
