توضیحات

APB are a diverse group of heterotrophic bacteria that share the common characteristic of producing organic acidic compounds and thus thrive in anaerobic conditions. As a result of APB activity, the pH level of the environment drops significantly to 3.5 to 5.5, which can have a high corrosion potential. Due to their acid-producing activity in the absence of oxygen, APB are considered good companions for sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in corrosion processes in metals. Many industrial facilities, including oil and gas, are exposed to corrosion caused by these bacteria, and managing and controlling this type of corrosion is of paramount importance in these industries. Identification and estimation of the relative number and activity level of APB play a vital role in timely detection and prevention of microbial corrosion in industries.

Reasons for considering APB as an important factor in corrosion:

1- Creating anaerobic conditions by these bacteria

2- Creating a special type of growth on the surface (biocoating)

3- Generating a sufficient amount of organic materials that can be decomposed into fatty acids

Test

Manufacturer’s recommendation:

Do not touch or contaminate the inside of the test tube. Use sterile methods.
When removing the lid from the tube, place it upside down on a clean surface to avoid contamination.
After adding the sample, do not shake or rotate the tube. Allow the ball to float on the liquid surface.
In many cases, APB grows in depths and biofilms, not directly in the water. Make sure you have taken the sample from the appropriate location.

Test

Collect at least 20 milliliters of sample.
Pour 19 milliliters of the sample into the test tube and leave it in there.
Note the date and name of the sample on the tube.
Incubate the tube in an incubator or at room temperature (21-25 degrees Celsius) away from sunlight.
Observe the sample every day for 8 days. Note the date of the first observed reaction.

results interpretation

Presence/Absence:

When the acid-producing bacteria is present, the color of the medium inside the tube changes from red to yellow.

Estimating bacterial population:

If the test result is positive (color change to yellow), estimate the bacterial population and its invasion level according to the table below. The higher the bacterial population, the faster the reaction (color change) occurs and the greater its invasion power. For example, if a color change occurs inside the tube 1 day after incubation, it means that the invasion power of the bacterial population is very high and the approximate number of bacteria is 500,000 CFU per milliliter of the sample.
