which has allowed them to find success in various environments. Despite the capability to live in low nutrient concentrations, oligotrophs may find difficulty surviving in nutrient-rich environments. The presence of excess nutrients overwhelm oligotrophs' metabolic systems, which cause them to struggle to regulate nutrient uptake. For example, oligotrophs' enzymes function well in low nutrient environments, but struggle in high nutrient environments.
