This is more than likely, going to sound like a dumb question. I am trying to come up with a great answer to why I am finding an abundance of bacteria in comparison of fungi. I have the basics in the answer, pH, slower incubation time, general higher abundance in the environment. Anything else anyone can help me with? Much appreciated!

Well you can try looking at what causes bacteria to develop and compare that to how fungi develops. I'm taking a crash course in microbiology and I haven't gotten to the bacteria and fungi unit but hopefully you can use my suggestion.

Nutrient availability and use is another aspect to look into. What N and C sources can certain bacteria use that fungi generally cannot?
