To determine the requirements on the protection of underground structures against microbiological corrosion, the examined the effect on the protective potential of steel of sulfate-reducing bacteria Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Aspergillus niger capable of reducing the corrosion potential in the laboratory experiments. In 10-day liquid cultures of microorganisms, they determined the corrosion losses of steel, the level of buildup of biomass by the culture, and the pH value of the medium at varying values of the applied potential.
