Table 1 pH and lactate concentration of whole-sample lactobacilli cultures at 1asymptote (after 2–5 days of incubation) and 2after neutralization and 2 additional days of incubation. (Samples were numbered in order of ascending pH1 for this table only)

From: Vaginal pH measured in vivo: lactobacilli determine pH and lactic acid concentration
