Bacterial biofilms are the cause of microbial metal corrosion, a destroyer of metals which causes more costly damage than all other biofilm-related damage put together.

Corrosion is the result of a series of chemical, physical and (micro) biological processes leading to the deterioration of materials such as steel and stone. It is a world-wide problem with great ...

Bacterial biofilms are the cause of microbial metal corrosion, a destroyer of metals which causes more costly damage than all other biofilm-related damage put together.

The contribution of bacteria to the corrosion mass loss and to pitting of mild steel was observed over 2.5 years using parallel streams of unpolluted natural (biotic) and nominally sterilized ...

A new, environmentally friendly coating that protects metals against corrosion in seawater has been developed by a team of researchers from Sheffield Hallam University. At the Society for General ...

Something is gnawing away at steel submerged in the Twin Ports, causing it to corrode up to 10 times faster than experts would expect to see in a freshwater environment. And Randall Hicks, a ...

A layer of living bacteria could protect metal structures against corrosion and reduce the environmental damage caused by conventional protective coatings. Researchers at Sheffield Hallam ...

Metal-eating bacteria has been devouring the shrinking vessel. Saltwater corrosion and sea currents have been swallowing up crumbling stalactites of rust. This handout image shows a view of the ...

Researchers have found evidence of accelerated corrosion not just in the harbor but upstream in the St. Louis River and in other inland waters of the Northland.

FLINT, Mich. --Worries over bacteria led to the fateful decision not to apply anti-corrosive chemicals when Flint, Michigan, began drawing water from the Flint River, an email written by the city ...
