Anaerobic corrosion of steel wire by Geoalkalibacter ferrihydriticus under alkaline autotrophic conditions

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology
Microbially induced corrosion (MIC), caused by iron-cycling microorganisms that directly uptake electrons from metallic iron, is a serious economic and environmental problem. Iron corrosion is inhibited at pH above 9.0 in the presence of carbonate by the
