    abstract = {It  is  widely  recognized  that  microorganisms  promote  the  degradation  of  most of the materials in  their  natural  environment,  including  metallic  materials.  In  the  latter  case, the  presence of  bacterial colonies in the form of a biofilm influences the initiation and spread of most attacks corrosion commonly encountered.  In  other  words,  biocorrosion  is  not  a  form  of  corrosion,  but  a  change  in   the  kinetics under  the  influence  of  the  presence  of  bacteria  and  products  of  their   metabolism.   Among  industrial risks necessary to control, the phenomena of  biodegradation   represent   a  real  danger,  which is essential to  characterize.  So  far,  the  mechanisms  leading  to  the   deterioration  of  materials  by  the bacterial microflora  are  not  all  fully  explained.  Indeed,  the  spread  of  knowledge  requires  a  sustained  dialogue between   metalworkers,   microbiologists,   biochemists,   chemists   and   corrosionnistes.  A  second  reason, no  less  important,  is  the lack of scientific studies from micro-organisms isolated from the industrial environment.}
