Microbial corrosion in the deep sea environment

本研究的主要目的是揭示深海环境中微生物诱导腐蚀的分子机制。在研究过程中，我们成功地分离出了一株高产硫化氢的新型细菌，对天然腐蚀区(铁垫)进行了化学分析和生物学研究，并建立了一种直接确定矿物和微生物之间关系的新的分析方法。

The main objective of this study is to reveal the molecular mechanisms of microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) in the deep-sea environments. During the investigation process, we have succeeded in isolation of a high H2S-producing novel bacterium, chemical analyses and biological studies of the natural corrosion areas (iron mats), as well as establishing a new analytical method for directly determining the relationships between mineral and microorganisms.
