We have produced data by growing six different fungal strains at five different pH ranges with three replicates, what types of data analysis should be performed to find out optimum pH as best growth parameter?
Dear sir, You should get some formula in the following links which might give you some confidence on your data analysis:

let me know whether its worked for you ro not. If not then I will explore some free software that might help you out on it.
Could you be more specific about your data? As I understand, you have six strains of fungi. These each receive 5 different pH levels; but, you only have 3 fungi per strain. The data would look like in the Excel file in attachment. I filled in some fabricated data in the shaded area. If your data are like this, you have a Between (strains) x Within (pH level) randomized block (3 subjects or blocks) design. In this case you can run an ANOVA with repeated measures. Between: s1 to s6; Within: ph1 to ph5. you can contact me at (remove the blancs):

Thanks a lot, Iqbal mahmud and Jos Feys for your suggestions! Our data matches with your design. We are analyzing ....!!!
