Climate‐induced stressors, such as changes in temperature, salinity, and pH, contribute to the emergence of infectious diseases. These changes alter geographical constraint, resulting in increased
Vibrio
spread, exposure, and infection rates, thus facilitating greater
Vibrio
‐human interactions. Multiple efforts have been developed to predict
Vibrio
exposure and raise awareness of health risks, but most models only use temperature and salinity as prediction factors. This study aimed to better understand the potential effects of temperature and pH on
V. vulnificus
and
V. parahaemolyticus
planktonic and biofilm growth.
Vibrio
strains were grown in triplicate at 25°, 30°, and 37°C in 96 well plates containing Modified Seawater Yeast Extract modified with CaCl
2
at pH's ranging from 5 to 9.6. AMiGA software was used to model growth curves using Gaussian process regression. The effects of temperature and pH were evaluated using randomized complete block analysis of variance, and the growth rates of
V. parahaemolyticus
and
V. vulnificus
were modeled using the interpolation fit on the MatLab Curve Fitting Toolbox. Different optimal conditions involving temperature and pH were observed for planktonic and biofilm
Vibrio
growth within‐ and between‐species. This study showed that temperature and pH factors significantly affect
Vibrio
planktonic growth rates and
V. parahaemolyticus
biofilm formation. Therefore, pH effects must be added to the
Vibrio
growth modeling efforts to better predict
Vibrio
risk in estuarine and coastal zones that can potentially experience the cooccurrence of
Vibrio
and harmful algal bloom outbreak events.
