Abstract
Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC), is acknowledged to be the direct cause of catastrophic corrosion failures,with associated damage costs ranging to many billions of US$ annually. In spite of extensive research andnumerous publications, fundamental questions relating to MIC remain unanswered. The following review pro-vides an overview of current MIC research and stresses the lack of information related to MIC recognition,prediction and mitigation. The review establishes a link between management decisions and root causes. Aholistic, proactive approach to MIC is suggested in which an entire system is considered, monitored and im-proved.
