The influence of iron-binding ligands in the corrosion of carbon steel driven by iron-reducing bacteria

Abstract Iron reducing bacteria (IRB) are thought to accelerate the corrosion of steel by removing the Fe(III)-oxide passivating layer through iron respiration. We investigated the effect of the iron-binding ligands oxalate, malonate, and succinate on the corrosion of carbon steel driven by the IRB...
