Normally, the optimum pH for growing Streptomyces is 7.8. Otherwise, you should make optimization.

Belal J Muhialdin

Dear Gerry

From my lab results pH 3.0 the survival will be more than 60% for most of Streptomyces

Gerry A Quinn

Thanks Belal

Did you test a top level , ie high pH ?

you are welcome

maximum pH we tested is 7 because our applications are all related to foods so we test the range between 3-7 less or more

at low pH streptomyces will form clusters by the way

best of luck
