Life at acidic pH imposes an increased energetic cost for a eukaryotic acidophile

Organisms growing in acidic environments, pH <3, would be expected to possess fundamentally different molecular structures and physiological controls in comparison with similar species restricted to neutral pH. We begin to investigate this premise by determining the magnitude of the transmembrane...
