Legionella acid buffer (HCl/KCl buffer, pH 2.2, autoclaved)
The Legionella Acid Buffer, also known as HCl/KCl Buffer, with a pH of 2.2, is a specially prepared, autoclaved buffer used primarily in microbiology. This acidic buffer is used specifically to optimize conditions for Legionella studies.
The acidic nature of the buffer (pH 2.2) helps to inhibit the growth of many other bacteria while promoting the growth of Legionella. This is due to Legionella's ability to survive and thrive in acidic environments, a characteristic that sets it apart from many other bacteria.
Autoclaving the buffer ensures its sterility, which is critical in microbiology experiments. This process kills all microorganisms and spores present, preventing contamination that could falsify results.
