I've studied quite a few papers along the way in regards to the use of S. aureus as a testing material to test the capability of corrosion inhibitor.
However, non of the paper actually told me why they use S. aureus instead of Sulfate reducing bacteria and etc which is much more deserving and capable for the task.
So, my question is, why S. aureus for this task?
Is it really have the capability to induce higher corrosion progress?
