Within the biosphere every object is influenced by microbial
activities. A very unfamiliar case is represented by the
microorganisms involved in the process of corrosion of different
metals and their alloys. Many workers have reported bacteria
responsible for initiating, accelariting and promoting the process
of corrosion. While several recent authors have also documented
corrosion inhibiting/controlling roles of microorganisms. It
appears that like a healthier balance between the normal microbiota
and pathogens, required for maintaining health of a host; a
comparable balance among the members of microbial community of soil
is required for protecting the buried mild steel pipes from
corrosion based losses. This work reports isolation of both
corrosion enhancing as well as corrosion controlling bacteria from
an identified location. The bacterial isolates were then studied
under laboratory but field simulated conditions to explore the
roles of the monocultures of both catogaries of the bacteria. While
effects of their co-cultures have also been delineated in
comparable experimental set up. The findings are helpful in
controlling corrosion of soil buried mild steel pipes.
