Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is an extremely complex phenomenon whose understanding requires several disciplines, including microbiology, metallurgy, electrochemistry, and surface chemistry. Several myths related to MIC that make proper interpretation even more complicated are reviewed here. The following myths related to MIC will be discussed: sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are the most important organisms in MIC; numbers of specific groups of bacteria can be used to predict corrosion; stainless steels (SS) are more resistant to MIC than carbon steels (CS); bacteria are the only microorganisms causing MIC.
