What is the optimum PH and temperature of bacteria to multiply exponentially?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is dependent on the species of bacteria you are using...so what kinda bacterium do you want to talk about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bacteria are diverse and as such are their preferred environments: some are highly acidophlic - most are not. some are thermophilic and proliferate around underwater steams in the ocean. i assume by your question that u refer to bacteria relevant to humans, as such they prefer 37 degrees celsius. when u have fever, the body changes its temp to fight bacteria as they are indeed quite specific in their optimal conditions for perfect growth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as to the pH...the standard media (like LB) is prepared to have 7.0 pH. this suits e. coli

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bacteria grow optimally within a narrow range of pH between 6.7 and 7.5. but temperature is changed for different kind of bacteria.

Thanks all am sorry for the confusion what if I specify it to Rhizobium bacteria?
