A wide diversity of microorganisms, typically growing as biofilms, has been implicated in
corrosion, a multi-trillion dollar a year problem. Aerobic microorganisms establish conditions …

Microbial cells secrete extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) to adhere to material
surfaces, if they get in contact with solid materials such as metals. After phase equilibrium …

This article focuses on the mechanisms of microbiologically influenced corrosion as a basis
for discussion on the diagnosis, management, and prevention of biological corrosion failures …

Methanogenic archaea have long been implicated in microbially influenced corrosion (MIC)
of oil and gas infrastructure, yet a first understanding of the underlying molecular …

Bifunctional antibacterial and anticorrosive broad-spectrum rosin thiourea iminazole
quaternary ammonium salt (RTIQAS) was investigated to inhibit microbiologically influenced …

Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) inhabit oilfield
production systems. Sulfur oxidation driven by SOB and dissimilatory sulfate reduction …

The injection of seawater into a hydrocarbon reservoir (seawater flooding) as a secondary or
tertiary oil recovery method is associated with two possibly significant challenges. First, the …

Corrosion is a threat to asset integrity, with engineering challenges and economic burdens.
Since the last decade, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) began to be recognized …

The effect of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) and nitrate reducing bacteria (NRB) on under-
deposit corrosion (UDC) of carbon steel is studied by weight loss tests, electrochemical …

Microbial sulfate reduction is the most significant source of hydrogen sulfide (souring) as oil
reservoirs are flooded with seawater (with mM concentrations of sulfate) for secondary oil …
