Abstract
Model experiments were carried out to study the microbiological corrosion of concrete by thionic bacteria Acidithiobacillus albertensis DSM 14366T. Concrete samples were exposed in a liquid medium at initial pH 4.0 for 1 month. The corrosion of concrete was assessed by zinc leaching in the medium and sample weight change. The microbiological corrosion caused by the bacteria A. albertensis was shown to decrease if concrete contained 0.10 % nickel sulfide.
