Microbiologists from Vanderbilt University in Nashville found bacteria can adapt to changing pH levels in the lab.
Some bacteria populations were able to quickly evolve genetic mutations that helped them thrive.
Cancers appear to make use of the resulting mutations too, to create themselves a more favorable environment.
The study was published in PNAS.
