The mechanism of cathodic depolarization exhibited by sulphate-reducing bacteria during metallic corrosion processes

Includes bibliographical references. === The mechanism of the corrosive action of sulphate reducing bacteria of the genus Desulfovibrio towards ferrous metals has been investigated. This corrosive action is anomalous when considered in the light of established knowledge of corrosion processes, since...
