Abstract
Corrosion, biofilm formation and the adsorption of different, corrosio n-enhancing microbes (such as Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, Thiobacillu s ferrooxidans, Thiobacillus intermedius, Leptospirillum ferrooxidans, and mixed cultures) to different surfaces (iron, copper, pyrite) have been studied in aqueous environment by atomic force microscopy (AFM). It is one of the most effective on-line techniques for imaging surfac es (bacterial, metallic, etc.) with high resolution.
