Indicators of the Microbial Corrosion of Steel Induced by Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria Under the Influence of Certain Drugs by Nataliia Tkachuk, Liubov Zelena, Yaroslav Novikov

“…The sensitivity of SRB <i>D. oryzae</i> to 1–100% DMSO (<i>v</i>/<i>v</i>) was studied via the dilution method in Postgate’s “C” liquid medium. The corrosion activity of <i>D. oryzae</i> against steel 3 was investigated under DMSO and paracetamol treatment at a final concentration of 45% (<i>v</i>/<i>v</i>) and 0.2% (<i>w</i>/<i>v</i>), respectively, according to the ability of bacteria to form a biofilm on the surface of the steel samples (via the crystal violet method) and the effect on the corrosion rate (via the gravimetric method). …”
