How do bacteria survive extreme environments, such as stomach acid?  The NSF-funded Bacterial pH Lab identifies pH-regulated genes in Escherichia coli grown in extreme acid and base, using fluorescent proteins. NIH-funded research on Bacillus subtilis reveals pH-regulated genes relevant to anthrax and bacterial insecticides, using DNA microarrays.
