Soil pH Soil pH Soil pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a soil. pH is defined as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the activity of hydronium ions ( or, more precisely, ) in a solution. In soils, it is measured in a slurry of soil mixed with water (or a salt solution, such as 0.01 M ), and normally falls between 3 and 10, with 7 being neutral. Acid soils have a pH below 7 and alkaline soils have a pH above 7. Ultra-acidic soils (pH < 3.5) and very strongly alkaline soils (pH > 9)
6TMS neutral amino acid transporter family multidrug efflux pump of the RND superfamily (TC #2.A.6.2)) and the "mar" regulon itself, and (3) MarB, a small protein of 71 amino acyl residues of unknown function. A periplasmic binding protein, MppA, essential for the uptake of the cell wall murein tripeptide, L-alanyl-γ-D-glutamyl-"meso"-diaminopimelate via the Opp permease, regulates "mar" regulon expression. Loss of MppA causes overproduction of MarA which activates "acrAB", causing pleiotropic drug resistance. MppA probably functions upstream of MarA in a signal transduction pathway that negatively controls expression of the "marRAB" operon. 6TMS neutral amino acid transporter family The 6TMS Neutral Amino Acid Transporter (NAAT) Family (TC#
