The phrase "acid tolerant" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe organisms, materials, or substances that can withstand acidic conditions without being damaged or affected.
Example: "Certain species of bacteria are acid tolerant, allowing them to thrive in environments with high acidity levels."
Alternatives: "acid resistant" or "acid resilient".
Considering the problems of successfully isolating acid tolerant strains, acidic soils could represent an unsuspected source of biological diversity with high potential for biotechnological utilisations.
Andrew Camilli, a microbiologist at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, reasoned that microbes might develop defenses against the gut's acidity and become more acid tolerant with each trip through the human digestive tract.
The distribution of acid tolerant strains in the 18S rRNA tree shows that acquisition of acid tolerance was unlikely a monophyletic event in green microalgae.
In the present study we have identified several strong candidate determinants of tolerance to acetic acid in the intrinsically highly acetic acid tolerant Z. bailii-derived hybrid strain ISA1307.
Such microorganisms are more acid tolerant than lactic acid bacteria.
Sankaranarayanan, M., Ashok, S. & Park, S. Production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid from glycerol by acid tolerant Escherichia coli.
Kotsyurbenko and colleagues (2007) described an acid-tolerant, hydrogenotrophic methanogen of the Methanobacterium genus isolated from acidic peat bogs.
The presence of organic compounds derived from acid-tolerant vegetation, usually needle-leaved evergreen forest, contributes to the acidic humus content of the soil and to the mobilization of the iron and aluminum.
The persistence of this aciduric environment in the plaque's matrix leads to selection and establishment of highly acid-tolerant (and acidogenic) organisms such as S. mutans, and the acidic pH at plaque-tooth interface results in dissolution of enamel [2].
Their suitability for cultivation is limited to acid-tolerant crops and orchards, provided that sufficient lime and fertilizer are applied.
Nevertheless, traditional shifting cultivation of acid-tolerant crops has adapted well to the conditions found in Acrisols.
