Von Wolzogen Kuhr

Von Wolzogen Kuhr and van der Vlugt (1934) suggested that the above set of reactions is caused by SRBs. This electrochemical generalization has been accepted and is stfll prevalent During corrosion, the redox potential of the bacterial growth medium is —52 mv (Hadley 1948). After inoculation of a corrosion testing cell with SRBs, the electrochemical potential decreases from the initial value of —470 mv to approximately —538 mv O Fig. 12.6).
