The corrosion of iron and steel equipment used in petroleum recovery is caused in part by H/sub 2/S formed by the anaerobic bacterial reduction of sulfate. The proposed mechanisms of iron corrosion under anaerobic and neutral conditions are inadequate. Accordingly, the production of volatile organosulfur compounds by sulfate reducing bacteria (desulfovibrio desulfuricans, API mid-continent A strain and a marine strain) under anaerobic conditions has been investigated. When grown on TSY agar raged sea water both strains produced primarily H/sub 2/S and methylmercaptan in smaller amounts. TSY agar/deionized water yielded primarily methylmercaptan (and traces of dimethyldesulfide) in the case of the API A strain: the marine strain of D deslfuricans did not grow in this system. Under anaerobic conditions methylmercaptan produced only neglibiable iron corrosion after several weeks exposure.
