if you culture a bacteria species in media that encouraged a type of metabolic activity that produces a high level of organic acids as a byproduct, what would be the effect on the pH of the agar?

Besides being able to tolerate a range of pH, some bacteria change their environment by producing acid or alkali substances. How would you use microbial media to determine a change in the pH of culture media due to the metabolic activities of bacteria
Md.Daniyal A.
Assume you are growing bacteria on a protein rich medium that lacks any glucose or other sugars and the pH started at pH 7. The action of bacterial proteases should cause the pH of the medium to... decrease (become more acidic). stay the same. increase (become more alkaline).
