A collaborative research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore has revealed the dual and dynamic role that sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) play in both accelerating and later partially mitigating the corrosion and cracking of high-strength steel pipelines to transport oil, gas, and hydrogen.
