  Effect of high pH on microbes

  Posted by Abdullah on September 6, 2021 at 3:17 am

  If we rise the pH of water to 11, in how much time will it kill the microbes in water?

  Bacterial spores and spores of many fungi will not be killed.  There isn’t a good answer for speed of kill for other/vegetative cells but you can’t count on complete kill.
