title = "Spectroscopic study of sulfate reducing bacteria-metal ion interactions related to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC)",
abstract = "It has long been recognized that sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) found in natural and industrial waste waters promote microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of certain metals and alloys. Corrosion may be enhanced biologically, through direct enzymatic action of the bacteria, or abiotically, as a result of reaction with metabolic byproducts or changes in local conditions (for example, pH) brought about by bacterial activity. In this study, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is utilized in conjunction with conventional microbiological and quantitative chemical analytical techniques to analyze the effect of localized environmental conditions similar to those found near the surface of a passive stainless steel on the behavior of SRB, and to determine the ability of these bacteria to alter local environmental conditions in such a way as to create conditions that accelerate corrosion.",
