| What are alkaliphiles? | ||||||
| Alkaliphiles live in alkaline environments like soda lakes, or alkaline soil. The Ph level in alkaline substances is from about 9 to 11 on the Ph scale. The alkaliphiles keep an alkaline level of about 9 Ph inside the cells, but the environment has a higher level of alkalinity. Alkaliphiles can keep the right Ph level by pumping in hydrogen ions in and out at the right rate. | ||||||

| How are alkaliphiles identified? | ||||||
| Alkaliphiles are identified by their ability to live in acid environments. Each different kind of alkaliphiles are able to live in a different ph level from 9-11 on the ph scale. | ||||||
| How do alkaliphiles reproduce? | ||||||
| In order for alkaliphiles to reproduce their enviroment must have a phy of 5.4 or less. alkaliphiles reproduce through either asexually through mitosis, or by sexual reproduction. | ||||||
