pH
At a glance
Extremophile: Escherichia coli
Proteins of interest: serine deaminase (serine catabolism)
Consensus: Helpful
Escherichia coli
Most mechanisms that acidophiles and alkaliphiles use to resist pH fluctuations are difficult to engineer into other bacteria, so we are looking at upregulating mechanisms that E. coli uses to defend itself against such fluctuations. Specifically, we are focusing on converting amino acids into buffers in the cytoplasm.
