Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria can live in hotter and colder temperatures than humans, but they do best in a warm, moist, protein-rich environment that is pH neutral or slightly acidic.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria can inhabit a wide range of environmental conditions, including extremes in pH ranging from 1 to 11. The primary strategy employed by bacteria in acidic environments is to maintain a constant cytoplasmic pH value.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria do not grow well in acidic conditions, which is why it is important to properly store low-acid foods (many vegetables, fruits, grains, etc.).
Detailed explanation-4: -What are acidophiles? Acidophiles are organisms that can withstand and even thrive in acidic environments where the pH values range from 1 to 5.
