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 …

Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

Corrosion is the result of a series of chemical, physical and (micro) biological processes
leading to the deterioration of materials such as steel and stone. It is a world-wide problem …

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 …

Microbially-induced corrosion (MIC) is unstoppable and extensively spread throughout
drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) as the cause of pipe leakage and deteriorating …

The Zetaproteobacteria are a class of bacteria typically associated with marine Fe (II)-
oxidizing environments. First discovered in the hydrothermal vents at Loihi Seamount …

Lithotrophic iron-oxidizing bacteria depend on reduced iron, Fe (II), as their primary energy
source, making them natural candidates for growing in association with steel infrastructure …

We examined microbial corrosion of carbon steel in synthetic bentonite pore water
inoculated with natural underground water containing microorganisms over a period of 780 …

Thalassospira sp. is an iron-reducing bacterium isolated from the marine environment.
Effects of T. sp. on corrosion behaviors of Q235 carbon steel in air-saturated seawater were …

This review reports the application of essential oils (EOs) as a green corrosion/biocorrosion
inhibitor. The topics discussed are:(i) sources and composition of EOs,(ii) adsorption …
