When confronting the formidable challenge of pumping corrosive acids, meticulous choosing of an appropriate pump becomes paramount. Failure to select a suitable pump can lead to catastrophic outcomes, ranging from machinery failure to environmental release. A comprehensive understanding of the distinct properties of the acid being handled, coupled … Read More

A fascinating aspect of acid-tolerant microorganisms is their ability to maintain a neutral internal pH despite residing in highly corrosive environments. This remarkable feat is accomplished through sophisticated proton pumping mechanisms that efficiently remove excess protons from the cytoplasm. One such mechanism involves the H+-ATPase, an enzym… Read More
