Abstract
Changes in surface pH occurring after varying periods of anaerobic incubation were measured for 23 test solid media. There was little change in the surface pH of uninoculated plates, but plates inoculated with Bacteroides fragilis showed a striking fall in pH, to pH 5 in the case of some of the test media. The problems of controlling the surface pH of solid media are discussed and possible methods of control are considered.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
