Summary:The kinetics of conversion of sulfur compounds by Halothiobacillus neapolitanus DSM 15147 bacteria was studied in the presence of steel samples. It was shown that the presence of steel altered the known pathway of sulfur compound oxidation by thiobacteria. Production of atomic hydrogen via the interaction between biogenic sulfuric acid and steel enhanced secondary production of intermediates and decreased the content of sulfate produced previously. The process was accompanied by pH elevation and continuation of intense growth of the thiobacterium culture. Thiobacteria formed a corrosive medium, which caused metal destruction. The protective properties of anticorrosive coatings 225 LS and 640 mk were tested. It was shown that these coatings protected steel from the destructive effect of biogenic sulfuric acid.
