The resistance to SCC’s initiation and propagation for Mg-1Zn alloy in synthetic cell culture medium and natural bovine calf serum (BCS) were improved compared to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and modified simulated body fluid (m-SBF), due to the homogenous corrosion and spontaneous adsorption of organic components. The elongation to failure obtained in BCS was reduced by around 30 % compared with that of the sample tested in air, indicating still a good ductility for Mg alloy.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.corsci.2020.108876} (DOI).
