The effect of industrially manufactured corrosion inhibitors ("G", "K", "L", "M", and "N" inhibitors) on the biological activity of thione (TB) and sulfate reducing (SRB) bacteria and corrosive microbial associations has been studied. SRB sensitivity to all the studied inhibitors has been established. The dynamics of hydrogenase reaction blocking under the action of the studied inhibitors as well as inhibition constants have been determined. Nitrogenated corrosion inhibitors are recommended to be used for protecting the subterranean metal structures from microbial corrosion.
