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.
Microbial Ecology. 1  Microbial ecology is the study of microbes in the environment and their interactions with each other. 2  Microbes are the tiniest creatures on Earth, yet despite their small size, they have a huge impact on us and on our environment.t is estimated that we know fewer than 1% of the microbial species on Earth. Yet microbes surround us everywhere -- air, water, soil. An average gram of soil contains one billion (1,000,000,000) microbes representing probably several thousand species.
