Introductory Chapter to Microbially Induced Deterioration of Concrete – Focus on Groups of Typical Microorganisms

Article Preview

Abstract:

This short review article describes the types of organisms associated with biocorrosion of normal strength concrete (NSC). The individual groups of organisms are listed in descending order according to the generally accepted degree of aggression towards concrete samples, and the causal links between the organisms and the type of infestation are always listed. Bacteria (especially sulfurization and nitrification), representatives of fungi, lichens and bryophytes are discussed. The provided pictorial photo documentation shows typical representatives whose aggressiveness towards concrete has been recorded by professional studies.
