Microbes thrive on iron in oxygen-free environments
Pipelines, sprinklers, and other infrastructure in oxygen-free settings are at risk from Microbially Induced Corrosion (MIC). This process, caused by microorganisms, leads to the degradation of iron-based structures, posing significant risks of costly damages or even infrastructure collapse. MIC is a distinct type of corrosion that occurs in the absence of oxygen, unlike rust, which is driven by
