Terminal oxidation models postulated in alkaliphilic (upper) and neutralophilic (lower) bacilli.
Some alkaliphilic bacilli produce much cytochrome c responsible for their growth at high pHs. Based on the difference in the midpoint redox potential between cytochrome c and cytochrome a in alkaliphiles in contrast to neutralophiles, H+-coupled electron transfer of cytochrome c is probably demonstrated to play a crucial role in the adaptation of alkaliphiles at high pHs.
