Question
Chapter 22.11, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
The microbes are capable of corroding various metals that are present in the environment. When the metals like iron are submerged or are buried inside the ground or water which lacks sufficient oxygen supply the corrosion of such form of iron or steel structures are done through MIC (microbially influenced corrosion).
