SOIL MICROBIOLOGY

[V.Thawfeek Mohammed]

please can you say me the required conditions required for the growth of
1.denitrifying bacteria
2.sulphur bacteria
3.ammonifying bacteria
conditions in the sense
1.temperature
2.pH
3.INCUBATION TIME
ALL FOR THE BACTERIAS GROWTH......IM DOING A PROJECT IN SOIL MICROBIOLOGY... SO IT LL BE USEFUL FOR ME...
THANK YOU..

This website addresses the first two conditions for optimal growth for soil bacteria:

The "optimum growth temperature ranges between 25°C and 40°C."
The optimum pH for "most bacteria" is between "pH 6.5 and 7.5."

The website below has lots on denitrying bacteria - you might find Appendix G ("Growing denitryfying bacteria from soil") particularly useful.
