What is another word for acidophilic?
Pronunciation: [ɐsˌɪdəfˈɪlɪk] (IPA) 
Acidophilic refers to organisms that thrive in acidic environments. Synonyms for this term include acid-tolerant, acid-adapted, acid-resilient, acid-loving, and acidotolerant. Acid-tolerant organisms have mechanisms that allow them to survive in harsh acidic conditions by regulating their internal pH or altering their membrane and cell wall composition to mitigate the effects of acidic environments. Acid-adapted microbes, on the other hand, have evolved specific genetic traits that allow them to thrive in acidic environments. Acid-resilient organisms can survive and even grow in acidic conditions, while acid-loving organisms prefer acidic habitats and actively seek out environments with low pH levels. Acidotolerant species can survive in a wide range of acidic environments with varying pH levels.
