Magnetic Bacteria against MIC
View through CrossRef
Abstract
In this article, it is suggested to use the sensitivity of magnetotactic bacteria to changes of magnetic field direction and the natural ability of this bacteria in rapid growth during relatively short time intervals against corrosion-enhancing bacteria and especially sulphate-reducing bacteria.
If colonies of sulphate-reducing bacteria could be "packed" among magnetotactic bacteria, then, by applying sufficiently powerful magnetic field (about 0.5 gauss), all of these bacteria (magnetic and non-magnetic) will be oriented towards an Anti-bacteria agent (oxygen or biocide). So, Microbiologically-Influenced Corrosion in the system would be controlled to a large extent.

If colonies of sulphate-reducing bacteria could be "packed" among magnetotactic bacteria, then, by applying sufficiently powerful magnetic field (about 0.
5 gauss), all of these bacteria (magnetic and non-magnetic) will be oriented towards an Anti-bacteria agent (oxygen or biocide).
So, Microbiologically-Influenced Corrosion in the system would be controlled to a large extent.
