Inducible tolerance to acidic and alkaline environments is recognized as an important survival strategy for many prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. Recent developments in understanding this phenomenon include the identification of regulatory genes, specific tolerance mechanisms and genes associated with tolerance. In addition, there is significant evidence linking pH responses with virulence.
对酸性和碱性环境的诱导耐受性被认为是许多原核和真核微生物的一种重要生存策略。在理解这一现象方面的最新进展包括对调控基因、特定耐受机制以及与耐受性相关基因的鉴定。此外，有大量证据表明pH反应与毒力之间存在关联。
