Iron corrosion by novel anaerobic microorganisms

Corrosion of iron presents a serious economic problem. Whereas aerobic corrosion is a chemical process 1 , anaerobic corrosion is frequently linked to the activity of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . SRB are supposed to act upon iron primarily by produced hydrogen sulphide as a c...
