microorganisms buffer/buffering Explanation: Hi, The terms "(organic) buffer" (atenuador) and "buffering" (atenuación) refer to substances (namely, by adding alkalinity) that regulate pH in organisms and micro-organisms. Maybe it fits to your context. I'm copying some references that may help. Good luck! "La mayoría de los organismos vivos han desarrollado mecanismos para ajustarse a los cambios rápidos que ocurren en su ambiente. Así, las bacterias sujetas a cambios rápidos de pH sobreviven regulando el transporte de iones hacia adentro y hacia afuera de la célula. En los mamíferos, la regulación del pH se lleva a cabo no sólo por transporte iónico, sino también mediante un grupo muy complejo de atenuadores (buffers) orgánicos que existen en el suero y otros fluidos tisulares." (http://omega.ilce.edu.mx:3000/sites/ciencia/volumen3/ciencia... "The third experiment. An aim of the experiment is to show that plant root excreta can destruct soil HS. For this aim there were 4 organic buffer solutions used (corresponding by the effects to plant root excreta) with different pH: 3.3, 6.7, 8.0 and 9.4, accordingly. The object was earthworm cast compost from cow manure. After treatment (the ratio compost/solution was 1/10) an optical density of all solutions was measured at 440 and 670 nm (under pH ( 7.2) for determimation a concentration of dissolved HS."
