Microbes adapt to acidic environments by actively pumping H+ ions out, blocking carriers to prevent entry, or creating acid-shock proteins to prevent denaturation.
Los microbios se adaptan a entornos ácidos bombeando activamente los iones H+ fuera de la célula, bloqueando los transportadores para prevenir su entrada o creando proteínas resistentes al ácido para prevenir la desnaturalización.

| Back | 1. Use active transport to pump H+ ions out of cell 2. Block carriers to prevent entry of H+ ions into cell 3. If cytoplasm becomes mildly acidic, create acid-shock proteins to prevent denaturation |
