A number of antimicrobial compounds commonly used in cooling water, paper making, and oilfield systems were evaluated for their ability to control sessile and planktonic sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). While all the biocides tested are known to be effective against common planktonic, general aerobic bacteria, most were unable to control either planktonic or sessile SRB. In addition, low levels of sulfide, an SRB by-product, were found to have some effect on biocide efficacy.
