A rapidly proliferating obligate thermophilic bacterium with an optimum temperature range of 60 to 70 C was isolated from a failed nickel 201 brazed joint. Corrosion experiments have demonstrated that the isolate is responsible for the (1) in situ production of acidic metabolites and (2) creation of differential aeration cells, resulting in a significant corrosion current.
