Corroded concrete Targeted Locus (Loci)
The aim of the project was to investigate the acidophilic bacterial communities involved in microbially induced concrete corrosion (MICC). Our study sites were located downstream from a forced main, and so provided a unique opportunity to study the microbial communities involved in MICC under different environmental conditions (gradients of atmospheric H2S, sulfate concentration and pH) and under pipe modifications (coated vs. uncoated).
