MICROBIALLY INDUCED CORROSION

Abstract

Of the several causes of corrosion, bacteria form the least well‐known single group of agents. It may sound strange that microbes should cause metals to corrode. However, it is not the bacteria but their metabolic products which are the causative agents. This discussion of the metabolic principles involved describes the type of corrosion to be expected and indicates methods of prevention.
