Possible mechanisms of acid adaptation. Several C. sordellii genes could be utilized to sequester protons and improve the internal and surrounding pH. a The expected contributions of urease, glutamate decarboxylase, and arginine deiminase to increasing the cytoplasmic pH under acidic conditions are depicted. b The NhaA Na+/H+ antiporter is expected to improve alkaline adaptation
