pH
Most bacteria grow between pH 6.5 and 7.5 Molds and yeasts grow between pH 5 and 6 Acidophiles grow in acidic environments
![Page 8: Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. MICROBIAL GROWTH Chapter 6.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012913/56649ec95503460f94bd6edd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Osmotic Pressure
Hypertonic environments, or an increase in salt or sugar, cause plasmolysis
Extreme or obligate halophiles require high osmotic pressure
Facultative halophiles tolerate high osmotic pressure

single cell or spore or from a group of attached cells A colony is often called a colony-forming unit
(CFU) The streak plate method is used to isolate pure
cultures
