A Bx or BCx horizon of high bulk density and consistency that is firm and brittle when moist, and hard to extremely hard when dry. Commonly it has bleached fracture planes separating very coarse prismatic units, and frequently the secondary structure is platy. Usually the fragic horizon is similar in color to the parent material but differs from it in structure, consistency, and bulk density. Air-dried clods slake when immersed in water. The upper boundary is usually abrupt and clear but the lower boundary is diffuse. The fragic horizon does not meet the criteria of a podzolic B horizon but may meet those of a Bt (Btx) horizon. 1, record 6, English, - fragic

L'horizon fragique est d’ordinaire d’une couleur semblable à celle du matériau originel mais en diffère en termes de la structure, de la consistance et de la densité apparente. Les mottes séchées à l'air s’émiettent lorsqu'elles sont trempées d’eau. La limite supérieure est généralement abrupte et nette et la limite inférieure, diffuse.

For any given protein the isoelectric pH will vary somewhat, depending on the ionic composition of the medium, since proteins can bind certain anions and/or cations. When a protein solution is thoroughly dialyzed against distilled H2O to remove all small ions other than -H[superscript+] and OH-, the pH of the resulting solution is known as the isoionic pH.
