...Ajay Singh; Chhaya Sharma; Suman Lata Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate microbially induced corrosion on stainless steels due to sulfate reducing bacteria sp. Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and correlate it with the composition of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS...

... 1 percent by weight of OPC and PPC severely affected both the mechanical and the corrosion resistance properties of OPC and PPC. Microbiological examination reveals that bacteria consume citrates for their survival and thereby increasing the permeability of mortar specimens. Originality/value...
