Inhoud: Corrosion inhibition of steel (ASTM A619) by two marine isolates, Pseudomonas sp.S9 and Serratia marces-cens EF190, was investigated by weight loss measurements of metal coupons placed in static batch cultures. Artificial seawater with (VNSS) and without (NSS) nutrients was used. The effects of bulk- and surface localised cells were compared. Adhesion of cells to the metal surface was quantified microscopically. Corrosion was inhibited in suspensions of high cell density (109.ml-1). The protective effect remained when the metal coupons were separated from the cells by a dialysis membrane. Also, a monolayer of cells on the metal surface lowered the corrosion if immersed in a suspension of sterile filtered spent NSS, but not in fresh sterile NSS. When the metal in fresh sterile NSS was coated with stearic acid however, the attached cells exerted a limited protection. Corrosion of metal coupons occurred in cell-free suspensions of both VNSS and NSS and in low cell-density (106.ml-1). Glutaraldehyde-fixed cells (109.ml-1) did not inhibit corrosion. Protection is suggested to be caused by cellular metabolic activity, including a decrease of the oxygen content. The attached cells may also form a protective film which may lower the diffusion or corrosion products from the surface.
