Is E coli acidophilic?
E. coli is a remarkably acid-resistant neutralophilic organism that prefers growth near neutral pH but is able to withstand transient exposures to pH 2 environments for hours. Four systems contribute to this acid resistance. The two most robust systems use glutamate and arginine decarboxylases.
