THE ROLE OF THE CELL ENVELOPE IN ACID RESISTANCE

At an external pH of 5, the internal pH of M tuberculosis H37Ra was close to 7, indicating that mycobacteria are able to maintain a neutral internal pH in an acidic environment (105), and other studies have confirmed this observation in M. smegmatis and virulent M.22/05/2009

Not Quite what you were after @poodledoc but quite interesting.

what does this mean exactly? does it mean Mycobacteria will not be affected one way or the other by a less acidic saline?
