Bimetallic corrosion testing in specific liquids under humidity control current and potential difference recorded. F. Laboratory techniques for studying amenability to MIC due to biofilms: Evaluation of biofilms from deposit samples collected from various locations organic and inorganic content of biofilms. Carbohydrate and protein analysis (spectrophotometer) Presence of aerobes and anaerobes in the deposits. Redox potential measurements in liquid samples. Corrosion potential measurements Biofilm growth on metal surface influences anodic and cathodic reactions Shifting of corrosion potentials in positive or negative directions to be monitored. Examples: Stainless steels in aerated seawater Mild steel in anaerobic seawater. Distinguish between aerobic and anaerobic corrosion. Polarization experiments in the presence and absence of biofilms on metals in the presence and absence of microorganisms.
G. Monitoring and characterization procedures for different bacteria involved in MIC are listed in Table 40.1. Microbiological aspects of MIC microbes are illustrated in lectures 24 27. Various strains of different bacterial species can be procured from culture banks and characterized as per recommended procedures.

Corrosion chambers for exposing the coupons to bacterial activity under simulated conditions can be used. Monitor conditions with respect to pH changes, H2S generation, temperature and humidity. Growth of Anaerobic Sulfate Reducing Bactria (SRB), aerobic sulfur oxidizers such as Acidithiobaullus can be monitored and their role on concrete corrosion assessed.
L. Bacterial kinetics of sulfur oxidation of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and its influence on concrete corrosion.
Experimental strategy: Bacterial growth in recommended media. Growth curve with respect to cell number, pH and sulfate concentration as a function of time. Establish bacterial growth kinetics. Concrete corrosion tests in aqueous media at bacterial acidic pH under different conditions of temperature, metal-ion concentrations, and types of reinforcement steels.
