| Factors Affecting Growth of Sulfate-Reduc- ing Bacteria Isolated from Tropical Soil  | | | | Abstract
| Sulfate-reducing bacteria (S R B) were isolated from soils around corroded pipelines and tanks. High num bers of the organisms occurred in areas closest to the corroded tanks and pipelines. Morphological types cor responding to rod, spirilloid, vibriod and coccoid were encountered. All the organisms utilized lactate as carbon and energy source. None could grow at temperatures higher than 40 °C. All the isolates grew at 1% (w/v) NaCl while none could grow at 8% (w/v) NaCl. All the isolates grew at pH 7 .0 -7 .5 . Growth was not recorded at pH below 5.5 and above 8.0. These factors may be useful in manipulating tropical soil environments to re duce activities of SR B in corrosion of pipelines and tanks. | | | |
