Acid rain is produced by volcanic eruptions. Acid rain has been shown to have adverse impacts on forests, freshwaters and soils, killing insect and aquatic life-forms, causing paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues as well as having impacts on human health. "Acid rain" is a popular term referring to the deposition of a mixture from wet (rain, snow, sleet, fog, cloudwater, and dew) and dry (acidifying particles and gases) acidic components. Distilled water, once carbon dioxide is removed, has a neutral pH of 7. Liquids with a pH less than 7
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#
