They also thrive in high pH alkaline environments.

Members of OIST's Information Processing Biology Unit, led by Prof. Ichiro Maruyama, have recently uncovered the sensor for alkaline environments, or high pH, in C. elegans.

Toshihiro Sassa and Takashi Murayama, the first and second authors of the paper, respectively, say, «we would like to identify the other genes involved in downstream signaling from this calcium channel to understand how the signal leads to aversion to high pH.» Sensing alkaline environments is only the first step; the worm must then quickly react to the stimulus by moving away.

Here, they demonstrate that the worms are averse to a very high pH by showing that the worms avoided areas of the experimental environment where the researchers created highly alkaline conditions.

But using alkaline polymers leads to a high pH, and researchers have discovered that the reaction goes about 100 times more slowly in this environment that it does in an acid.

«Research groups working on anodes mostly do so using alkaline conditions since anodes typically require a high pH environment, which is not ideal for the solubility of CO2,» said Gurudayal.

1) Alkaline water electrolysis: In alkaline electrolysis the membrane prevents the hydrogen and oxygen products from mixing, however commonly available membrane separators often become brittle and crack with low pH. The membranes developed at SNL are stable under basic environments and have been tested by LANL and ProtoAlkaline water electrolysis: In alkaline electrolysis the membrane prevents the hydrogen and oxygen products from mixing, however commonly available membrane separators often become brittle and crack with low pH.

One of the most effective ways to determine appropriate balance levels in the body is to measure its pH. The pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity in the body and is rated on a scale of 0 - 14; the lower the reading, the more acidic the internal environment and the higher the reading, the more alkaline the environment.

Yeast thrives in an alkaline environment, so to successfully treat a vaginal yeast infection for example, you need to adjust the pH in your vaginal area.

The decrease in Lactobacillus and increase in G. vaginalis leads to a rise in the vagina's pH. The new vaginal environment is less acidic and more alkaline; a vaginal pH of more than 4.5 is one criterion for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis.
