As a result of such chicanery, the voter rolls in many American cities and counties â in such states as South Dakota, Texas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Maryland, Iowa, North Carolina, and Missouri â soon included more names than there were residents of voting age in those locales.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Microbial corrosion, also called bacterial corrosion, bio-corrosion, microbiologically influenced corrosion, or microbially induced corrosion (MIC), is corrosion caused or promoted by microorganisms, usually chemoautotrophs.It can apply to both metals and non-metallic materials.acterial corrosion may appear in form of pitting corrosion, for example in pipelines of the oil and gas industry. Anaerobic corrosion is evident as layers of metal sulfides and hydrogen sulfide smell.
Abstract. Six bacterial isolates from the U.S. DOE Subsurface Science Program and three references bacteria were tested for resistance to UV light and gamma radiation. The subsurface isolates included three aerobic, pigmented, Gram positive bacteria and three microaerophilic, non-pigmented, Gram negative bacteria. Deinococcus radiodurans was the most resistant bacterium to both types of radiation, with a D 37 value of 4.0 Ã 10 4 Î¼Ws cm â2 to UV light and 300 krads to gamma radiation. The aerobic subsurface bacteria were found to be significantly more resistant (p.
