> cannot be true unless this strain is also capable of creating and tolerating environments with low pH
Whether it can tolerate low pH environments is not particularly related to whether it creates low pH environments. If it's agnostic to pH levels around that range, then it can inhabit that niche whether or not there is acid being secreted.
