Microbiologically influenced corrosion sulfate-reducing bacteria

Sulfate reducers. The best-known form of microbiologically influenced corrosion involves sulfate-reducing bacteria.- Without question, sulfate reducers cause most localized industrial cooling water corrosion associated with bacteria. Desulfovibrio, Desulfomonas, and Desulfotomacu-lum are three genera of sulfate-reducing bacteria. [Pg.121]

Bacterial-environmental interactions, with reference to the cycles of sulfur and other elements, in corrosion on buried pipes are presented based on the recent field and laboratory studies by the author. Attention is focussed on the action of iron bacteria (IB), iron-oxidizing bacteria (lOB), sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB), sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and methane-producing bacteria (MPB). Correlation between the extent of microbiologically influenced corrosion damage and the activities of above mentioned bacteria is also discussed from electrochemical aspects. [Pg.365]

Copper and its alloys, although toxic to fouling organisms, such as seaweed and shellfish, are subject to microbiologically influenced corrosion, undergoing severe attack by sulfide if conditions allow the growth of sulfate reducing bacteria [3,4]. [Pg.367]
