pH meters are an important tool for microbiology. The pH of the culture medium is important for microorganism growth. Different organisms require different pH’s, but bacteria generally prefer a neutral pH of about 7. Most molds can tolerate an acidic pH of about 5. The pH of culture media is very important because some microorganisms prefer to grow in a slightly acidic or alkaline environment. Most bacteria grow best at a neutral or slightly alkaline pH. An example is Tryptic Soy agar, which has a slightly alkaline pH range of 7.1 to 7.5.
