Abstract
Initial stages of corrosion of mild steel induced by Klebsiela rhinoscleromatis BO2 were
studied in various media. The effect of the microorganism was detected 8-10 h after inoculation.
The number of viable cells were virtually unchanged within one month in all media, but the
corrosive activity of the strain decreased. The corrosive activity of microorganisms can be
determined by spectrophotometry even only after incubation for 24 h. At a low level of organic
substrate, even strong colonization with microorganisms does not inevitably result in a significant
damage to metals. |
