An initial database of bacteria involved in MIC is proposed. It is composed of bacteria detected by Molecular Biology techniques through the sequencing of their 16S rDNA genes in bio films, consortia and samples collected in sites potentially affected by MIC problems. The bacteria were not isolated and their participation in MIC should be evaluated. The use of such data is discussed and future directions are also proposed to continue this work.
