Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term acid-resistant refers to microbes that can survive and grow under neutral pH conditions but can also survive at a low pH, such as pH 2, for short periods. Acid-fast refers to microbes that are resistant to acid and alkali and include some species of bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Neutralophiles are microbes that grow optimally at neutral pH (around pH 7), while extremophiles are microbes that grow in extreme environments, including high temperatures, high pressures, and extreme pH conditions.
