Abstract

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is responsible for 20% of all corrosion damage [1]. In this context, there is great interest in understanding MIC especially, since it has been shown that some microbes slow down the rate of corrosion [2], while others speed it up [3]. During experiments in the Koralmtunnel, iron-oxidizing bacteria were found, to be part of a MIC causing, microbial community. SEM pictures shows typical structures produced by this bacterial culture in figure 1.
