Environmental pH modulation by pathogenic fungi as a strategy to conquer the host
Open accessAbstract
The ability of microorganisms to sense and adapt to changes in the environment is essential to their survival.This is particularly important for species with an intimate association with host organisms, such as pathogens, symbionts, and commensals.Host environments vary greatly in pH, ranging from highly acidic in the stomach (pH < 2) to mildly acidic on the skin and plant surfaces (6.5 < pH < 4.5), neutral in the blood (pH 7.4), and basic in parts of the intestine (pH < 8.5) [1-4], and fungi have developed multiple mechanisms to adapt to pH variations.This Pearl will focus on the ability of pathogenic fungi to respond to and actively modulate the host's pH.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
