Life in acid: pH homeostasis in acidophiles. Transmembrane electrical potential and transmembrane pH gradient in the acidophile Thiobacillus ferro-oxidans. In addition, it was found that the less phosphorus in the lipoprotein layer of acidophilus cell can contribute to higher hydrophobicity, which was beneficial for resisting extreme acid shock [ 13 ].
