The characterization of strictly anaerobic bacteria which can reduce thiosulfate into hydrogen sulfide is described. Although thiosulfate reduction is a common metabolism in the bacterial world, its implication regarding microbiologically influenced corrosion has never been investigated. Thiosulfate is in ecosystems where hydrogen sulfide and oxygen come in contact. An example is a sour oil-transporting pipeline in the Gulf of Guinea. In one year, this line corroded by pitting to a depth of about 1 cm.
