“…Growth at different temperatures (10,15,25,30,35,45,50,55 and 60 u C), pH (3, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11 and 12) and NaCl concentrations (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 %) were determined in TSB medium (BD/ Difco211825) over 3 days. The medium pH was adjusted as described by Ruan et al (2014). All tests were conducted independently in duplicate.…”
