Predicted mechanisms of cytoplasmic pH regulation in “Ca. Nitrosotalea devanaterra” based on the presence of putative functional genes in the genome. (1) Cation influx and proton efflux. kdp, potassium transporting P-type ATPase gene; mgtA, putative magnesium-transporting P-type ATPase gene; mntA, NRAMP-type divalent cation transporter (two copies) gene, Na+/solute transporter, Na+/hydrogen exchanger (two copies). (2) Proton consumption by metabolism: acetolactate decarboxylase, carbonic anhydrase. (3) Reduced permeability of the cell wall/cell membrane: cell surface glycosylation, GDGT-4-dominated membrane.
