How might the pH level of the stomach inhibit growth of ingested bacteria?
Many bacteria doesn't support a very low pH.
Which pH is ideal for the growth of bacteria in food 6.0?
6.0
List the various requirements needed for culturing bacteria?
The requirements in culturing bacteria is the right temperature, gas, pH and moisture to assure proper growth of bacteria.
Why there is fungal growth seen in pH 4 solution?
balls to you
Enviromental factor that affect bacteria growth?
Two major factors include the availability of nutrients and the removal of waste products.

6.0
Why pH of Soyabean Casein Digest Medium should be adjusted to 7.3?
The maximal growth pH ranges for bacteria are well defined hence to make a medium which meets the requirements of most bacteria a neutral pH is used. 7.3+-0.2 This pH allows for most organisms to survive even though this pH may not allow for optimized growth. Hence it is at this pH to allow relatively good growth of different microbes.

Stomach acidity is in the range of pH 1 to 2. How might this inhibit the growth of ingested bacteria?
The low pH will dissolve the cell walls of the bacteria, killing it. Bacteria generally like a slightly alkaline environment to thrive, but not always.

What factors do you think will inhibit the growth of the bacteria in a Lima bean and water experiment?
pH of water, chemicals in water, and temperature
Why is milk?
Milk is considered neutral because the pH is 6.6 - 6.8. The total pH range is from 1 to 14. This puts the pH of milk right in the middle of the total pH range.This pH range (6.6 to 6.8) is also a very good pH for growth of spoilage bacteria.
Can bacteria grow equally on different types of medium?
Possibly. depending on the nutritional requirements of the bacteria and what the medium provides will determine the growth rate (as well as temp, pH etc)
Why is milk NUETRAL?
Milk is considered neutral because the pH is 6.6 - 6.8. The total pH range is from 1 to 14. This puts the pH of milk right in the middle of the total pH range.This pH range (6.6 to 6.8) is also a very good pH for growth of spoilage bacteria.
The pH of shampoo?
Most shampoos are buffered to slightly acidic. Normal skin pH is between 4 and 6.5. If you wash with a non-acidic shampoo it can remove the natural protection that this affords your skin. Since healthy skin is acidic, it can prevent the growth of many bacteria and fungi.
