Yes, but the question is: which type of bacteria. Bacteria are everywhere, but it's not the same type of bacteria.

However, it's not the nucleic acid is rarely found alone is almost always coupled to a deoxyribose and pentose. Ammonia, citric acid and whatevers in the bog however.
Actually, the bog preservation tends to be Humic Acid. Ammonia and Citric aren't involved (except in the case where they're found in the human body quite frequently, the former under normal circumstances, the latter prone to being ingested). Humic isn't even that bad. People eat and drink it all the time, plants need it to grow. It's really more of an overabundance of it. Compare a glass of water to an ocean. Both tend to be naturally a little bit acidic. One can be quite good for a person, the other can prove fatal.
