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 …

In nature, microbes tend to form synergistic biofilms on a wide range of materials using
extracellular polymeric substances to embed sessile cells. Problematic biofilms provide …

Microbial corrosion of iron-based materials is a substantial economic problem. A
mechanistic understanding is required to develop mitigation strategies, but previous …

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a major cause of corrosion damages, facility
failures, and financial losses, making MIC an important research topic. Due to complex …

Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are often the culprits of microbiologically influenced
corrosion (MIC) in anoxic environments because sulfate is a ubiquitous oxidant. MIC of …

Novelty techniques of Fe (III) reduction coupled to anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ie
Feammox) and nitrate-dependent Fe (II) oxidation (ie NDFO) provide new insights into …

Recently, the application of the microbial fuel cell (MFC)-based biosensor for rapid and real-
time monitoring wastewater quality is very innovative due to its simple compact design …

About a century ago, researchers first recognized a connection between the activity of
environmental microorganisms and cases of anaerobic iron corrosion. Since then, such …

Carbon steel MIC (microbiologically influenced corrosion) and copper MIC by Desulfovibrio
vulgaris (a sulfate reducing bacterium) were shown to behave very differently. Carbon steel …

The synergistic effects of deposits and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) on the corrosion of a
carbon steel are clarified by purposely designing four groups of experiments. The weight …
