The cathodic polarisation behaviour of mild-steel electrodes in a culture of hydrogen bacteria and in methane fermentations has been studied. Negligible cathodic depolarisation was observed and it was concluded that these two groups of bacteria do not participaee significantly in anaerobic microbial corrosion processes.
