Bacteria aerobic slime formers

Sulfur bacteria Thiobacillus thiooxidans is an aerobic acid- and corrosion-producing sulfur bacterium. Thiothrix sp. are troublesome aerobic slime formers. The most prolific of the slime- and corrosion-producing sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is the anaerobe Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. Other sulfur bacteria include the anaerobes Beggiatoa sp. and Clostridium migrificans. 

Aerobic Slime Formers Aerobic slime formers are a diverse group of aerobic bacteria. They are important in managing corrosion mainly because they produce extracellular polymers that make up what is commonly referred to as slime, a natural polymer that is actually a sophisticated network of sticky strands that bind cells to the surface and control what permeates through the deposit. 

Aerobic slime formers. Aerobic shme formers are a diverse group of aerobic bacteria. They are important to corrosion mainly because they produce extracellular polymers that make up what is commonly referred to as slime. This polymer is actually a sophisticated network of sticky strands that bind the cells to the surface and control what permeates through the deposit. The stickiness traps all sorts of particulates that might be floating by, which, in dirty water, can result in the impression that the deposit or mound is an inorganic collection of mud and debris. The slime formers and the sticky polymers that they produce make up the bulk of the distributed slime film or primary film that forms on all materials immersed in water.
