Är en sur vattenmiljö dålig för bakterier? Bakterier finns överallt på vår planet och är bland annat viktiga för nerbrytningsprocesser i naturen. De bakterier som klassificeras som heterotrofa livnär sig genom att bryta ner döda växt-och djurdelar och omvandla detta till energi. I sjöar och vattendrag utgör dessa bakterier en central del, då de kan utnyttja resurser som är otillgängliga för andraAbstract The environmental pH is an important factor affecting bacterial physiology and function as well as community composition in soil and marine ecosystems. However, studies of the effect of pH on bacterial function in limnic systems have been scarce. Considering studies in soil where it has been conclusively confirmed that bacterial growth rates (μ) are considerably lower in a low pH environ
