Abstract
In the vast republic of corrosive microbes, sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are the most recognized and complicated consortia of anaerobic strains ever known. Some of the strains found in industrial environments are naturally resistant to toxins and also adopt themselves to thrive under high temperatures. The effect of such a strain of Desulfovibrio, isolated from a water flow line exposed to temperature fluctuations, on the corrosion behavior of two copper containing alloys such as cupronickel and brass has been monitored electrochemically, at different time intervals, in 10% Postgate medium (as growth supplement) under static condition. The results support the conventional belief on the antifouling properties of the alloys experimented and also place brass as a prime alloy with greater antifouling properties compared to cupronickel
