Process characteristics and peculiarities of damages of materials by microorganisms in the exploitation conditions.

Abstract

The review gives some characteristics and methods of determination of microbiological damages of materials (adhesion, growing of microbe cells and changing of material properties under the action of microorganisms). These methods and characteristics give quantitative estimation of damages process. Authors of paper gave new method of microbiological damages investigation. This investigation is including several microbiological, chemical, biochemical and mechanical methods. It was shown that this complex of methods are very effective in case of investigation of material samples damages.
