Abstract
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is one of the main threats for marine infrastructures, leading to severe safety and environmental risks associated with structural failures and/or leakages of dangerous fluids, together with potential huge economic losses and reputational damage for the involved parts. For a safe design and a proper installation of infrastructure systems in contact with the seabed, a deep knowledge of the site-specific microbial community of the sediments should be beneficial. Therefore, in addition to the simple detection or the sole quantification of Sulphate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB), the whole characterization of the microbial members involved in MIC phenomena is desirable. In this study, 16S rRNA-based comparison between bacterial communities thriving in offshore and nearshore marine sediments was performed, with a focus on the main bacterial groups putatively responsible for MIC. The nearshore sediments were significantly enriched in bacterial members associated with human and organic compounds contamination belonging to the Bacteroidota, Desulfobacterota, and Firmicutes phyla, while the offshore sediments hosted Alphaproteobacteria, Nitrospinota, and Nitrospirota members, representative of a low anthropogenic impact. Quantitative PCR targeting the dsrA gene and detailed community analyses revealed that the nearshore sediments were significantly enriched in SRB mainly affiliated to the Desulfobulbus and Desulfosarcina genera potentially involved in biocorrosion, compared to the offshore ones. These results suggest that the bacterial community associated with the high concentration of organic compounds derived by an elevated anthropogenic impact is likely to favour MIC. Such observations highlight the importance of microbiological investigations as prevention strategy against MIC processes, aiming both at characterizing sites for the establishment of new infrastructures and at monitoring those already installed.

Abstract
The corrosion protection of tool steel surfaces is of significant importance for ensuring cutting precision and cost savings. However, conventional surface protection measures usually rely on toxic organic solvents, posing threats to the environment and human health. In this regard, an integrated process of laser texturing and electrostatic flocking is introduced as a green anti-corrosion method on a high-speed steel (HSS) surface. Drawing from the principles of textured surface energy barrier reduction and fiber array capillary water evaporation enhancement, a flocking surface with a synergistic optimization of surface wettability and evaporation performance was achieved. Then, contact corrosion tests using 0.1 mol/L of NaCl droplets were performed. Contact angles representing wettability and change in droplet mass representing evaporation properties were collected. The elements and chemical bonds presented on the corroded surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results revealed that the flocking surface exhibited the lowest degree of corrosion when compared with smooth and textured surfaces. Corrosion resistance of the flocking surface was achieved through the rapid spread and evaporation of droplets, which reduced the reaction time and mitigated electrochemical corrosion. This innovative flocking surface holds promise as an effective treatment in anti-corrosion strategies for cutting tools.

ACS PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY AU 2024; 4:67-84.

Abstract
Corrosion inhibition of mild steel (MS) was studied using Lachancea fermentati isolate in 0.5 M H2SO4, which was isolated from rotten grapes (Vitis vinifera) via biofilm formation. Biofilm over the MS surface was asserted by employing FT-IR and FE-SEM with EDXS, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), AFM, and DFT-ESP techniques. The weight loss experiments and temperature studies supported the physical adsorption behavior of the corrosion inhibitors. The maximum inhibition efficiency (IE) value (90%) was observed at 293 K for 9 × 106 cfu/mL of Lachancea fermentati isolate. The adsorption of Lachancea fermentati isolate on the surface of MS confirms Langmuir's adsorption isotherm model, and the -ΔG values indicate the spontaneous adsorption of inhibitor over the MS surface. Electrochemical studies, such as potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and EIS were carried out to investigate the charge transfer (CT) reaction of the Lachancea fermentati isolate. Tafel polarization curves reveal that the Lachancea fermentati isolate acts as a mixed type of inhibitor. The Nyquist plots (EIS) indicate the increase in charge transfer resistance (Rct) and decrease of double-layer capacitance (Cdl) values when increasing the concentration of Lachancea fermentati isolate. The spectral studies, such as UV-vis and FT-IR, confirm the formation of a complex between MS and the Lachancea fermentati isolate inhibitor. The formation of biofilm on the MS surface was confirmed by FE-SEM, EDXS, and XPS analysis. The proposed bioinhibitor shows great potential for the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in acid media.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a facultative bacterium that is pathogenic. It is ubiquitous in the environment including air handling systems. It causes microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) aerobically and anaerobically. In this work, P. aeruginosa was grown as a nitrate reducing bacterium (NRB) in Luria-Bertani medium with KNO3 at 37 °C. Trehalase, an enzyme which plays a crucial role in biofilm formation was found to enhance the treatment of P. aeruginosa biofilm and its MIC against galvanized steel by tetrakis-hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate (THPS) green biocide. After a 7-d incubation, 30 ppm (w/w) trehalase reduced sessile cell count by 0.8-log, and it also reduced galvanized steel weight loss by 14%, compared to 2.3-log and 39%, respectively for the 30 ppm THPS treatment. The combination of 30 ppm THPS + 30 ppm trehalase reduced sessile cell count further by 0.1-log and weight loss by 13% compared to using THPS alone. Electrochemical corrosion measurements supported weight loss results. The injection of 20 ppm riboflavin into a 3-d P. aeruginosa broth failed to accelerate the corrosion rate, suggesting that nitrate reducing P. aeruginosa MIC of galvanized steel did not belong to extracellular electron transfer-MIC, because Zn was hydrolyzed after the microbe damaged the passive film.

Abstract
The global economic burden of microbial corrosion of metals is enormous. Microbial corrosion of iron-containing metals is most extensive under anaerobic conditions. Microbes form biofilms on metal surfaces and can directly extract electrons derived from the oxidation of Fe0 to Fe2+ to support anaerobic respiration. H2 generated from abiotic Fe0 oxidation also serves as an electron donor for anaerobic respiratory microbes. Microbial metabolites accelerate this abiotic Fe0 oxidation. Traditional strategies for curbing microbial metal corrosion include cathodic protection, scrapping, a diversity of biocides, alloys that form protective layers or release toxic metal ions, and polymer coatings. However, these approaches are typically expensive and/or of limited applicability and not environmentally friendly. Biotechnology may provide more effective and sustainable solutions. Biocides produced with microbes can be less toxic to eukaryotes, expanding the environments for potential application. Microbially produced surfactants can diminish biofilm formation by corrosive microbes, as can quorum-sensing inhibitors. Amendments of phages or predatory bacteria have been successful in attacking corrosive microbes in laboratory studies. Poorly corrosive microbes can form biofilms and/or deposit extracellular polysaccharides and minerals that protect the metal surface from corrosive microbes and their metabolites. Nitrate amendments permit nitrate reducers to outcompete highly corrosive sulphate-reducing microbes, reducing corrosion. Investigation of all these more sustainable corrosion mitigation strategies is in its infancy. More study, especially under environmentally relevant conditions, including diverse microbial communities, is warranted.

Abstract
The extent of how complex natural microbial communities contribute to metal corrosion is still not fully resolved, especially not for freshwater environments. In order to elucidate the key processes, we investigated rust tubercles forming massively on sheet piles along the river Havel (Germany) applying a complementary set of techniques. In-situ microsensor profiling revealed steep gradients of O2 , redox potential and pH within the tubercle. Micro-computed tomography and scanning electron microscopy showed a multi-layered inner structure with chambers and channels and various organisms embedded in the mineral matrix. Using Mössbauer spectroscopy we identified typical corrosion products including electrically conductive iron (Fe) minerals. Determination of bacterial gene copy numbers and sequencing of 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA amplicons supported a densely populated tubercle matrix with a phylogenetically and metabolically diverse microbial community. Based on our results and previous models of physic(electro)chemical reactions, we propose here a comprehensive concept of tubercle formation highlighting the crucial reactions and microorganisms involved (such as phototrophs, fermenting bacteria, dissimilatory sulphate and Fe(III) reducers) in metal corrosion in freshwaters.

Abstract
MIC (microbiologically influenced corrosion) is problematic in many industries, especially in the oil and gas industry. In this work, N80 carbon steel for pipelines was tested with 26Cr3Mo chromium pipeline steel for comparison in SRB (sulfate-reducing bacterium) MIC mitigation using a THPS (tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate)-based commercial biocide (Biotreat 5475 with 75-80% THPS by mass). Peptide A, a nature-mimicking synthetic cyclic peptide (cys-ser-val-pro-tyr-asp-tyr-asn-trp-tyr-ser-asn-trp-cys) with biofilm dispersal ability was used as a biocide enhancer. Metal coupons covered with 3-d old Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5 biofilms were immersed in different biocide solutions. After 1-h treatment, 200 ppm Biotreat 5475, 200 ppm Biotreat 5475 + 200 nM (360 ppb) Peptide A, and 400 ppm Biotreat 5475 achieved 0.5-log, 1.7-log and 1.9-log reductions in sessile cell count on N80, and 0.7-log, 1.7-log, and 1.8-log on 26Cr3Mo, respectively. The addition of 200 nM Peptide A cut the THPS biocide dosage by nearly half. Biocide injection tests in electrochemical glass cells after 1 h exhibited 15%, 70%, and 72% corrosion inhibition efficiency (based on corrosion current density) on N80, and 27%, 79%, 75% on 26Cr3Mo, respectively. Linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectrometry results also indicated antimicrobial efficacies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peri-implantitis is the leading cause of dental implant loss and is initiated by a polymicrobial dysbiotic biofilm formation on the implant surface. The destruction of peri-implant tissue by the host immune response and the low effectiveness of surgical or non-surgical treatments highlight the need for new strategies to prevent, modulate and/or eliminate biofilm formation on the implant surface. Currently, several surface modifications have been proposed using biomolecules, ions, antimicrobial agents, and topography alterations. AREAS COVERED Initially, this review provides an overview of the etiopathogenesis and host- and material-dependent modulating factors of peri-implant disease. In addition, a critical discussion about the antimicrobial surface modification mechanisms and techniques employed to modify the titanium implant material is provided. Finally, we also considered the future perspectives on the development of antimicrobial surfaces to narrow the bridge between idea and product and favor the clinical application possibility. EXPERT OPINION Antimicrobial surface modifications have demonstrated effective results; however, there is no consensus about the best modification strategy and in-depth information on the safety and longevity of the antimicrobial effect. Modified surfaces display recurring challenges such as short-term effectiveness, the burst release of drugs, cytotoxicity, and lack of reusability. Stimulus-responsive surfaces seem to be a promising strategy for a controlled and precise antimicrobial effect, and future research should focus on this technology and study it from models that better mimic clinical conditions.

Abstract
Introduction The deposition of solid particles carried by production fluids from oil and gas companies in horizontal surfaces of different assets has shown to cause severe localised corrosion. Sand, one of the most common deposits in the energy sector pipelines, is frequently mixed with crude, oil, asphaltenes, corrosion inhibitors, and other organic compounds. For this reason, they might favour the metabolic activity of native microbial communities. This study aimed to determine the impact of sand-deposit chemical composition on the microbial community structure and functional attributes of a multispecies consortium recovered from an oilfield and the resulting risk of under-deposit microbial corrosion of carbon steel. Methods Sand deposits recovered from an oil pipeline were used in their raw form and compared against the same deposits exposed to heat treatment to remove organic compounds. A four-week immersion test in a bioreactor filled with synthetic produced water and a two-centimeter layer of sand was set up to assess corrosion and microbial community changes. Results The raw untreated deposit from the field containing hydrocarbons and treatment chemicals resulted in a more diverse microbial community than its treated counterpart. Moreover, biofilms developed in the raw sand deposit exhibited higher metabolic rates, with functional profile analysis indicating a predominance of genes associated with xenobiotics degradation. Uniform and localized corrosion were more severe in the raw sand deposit compared to the treated sand. Discussion The complex chemical composition of the untreated sand might have represented an additional source of energy and nutrients to the microbial consortium, favoring the development of different microbial genera and species. The higher corrosion rate obtained under the untreated sand suggests that MIC occurred due to syntrophic relationships between sulphate reducers or thiosulphate reducers and fermenters identified in the consortium.

Abstract
Microbial biofilm build-up in water distribution systems can pose a risk to human health and pipe material integrity. The impact is more devastating in space stations and to astronauts due to the isolation from necessary replacement parts and medical resources. As a result, there is a need for coatings to be implemented onto the inner region of the pipe to minimize the adherence and growth of biofilms. Lubricant-infused surfaces has been one such interesting material for anti-biofouling applications in which their slippery property promotes repellence to many liquids and thus prevents bacterial adherence. Textured and porous films are suitable substrate candidates to infuse and contain the lubricant. However, there is little investigation in utilizing a nanoparticulate thin film as the substrate material for lubricant infusion. A nanoparticulate film has high porosity within the structure which can promote greater lubricant infusion and retention. The implementation as a thin film structure aids to reduce material consumption and cost. In our study, we utilized a well-studied nanoporous thin film fabricated via layer-by-layer assembly of polycations and colloid silica and then calcination for greater stability. The film was further functionalized to promote fluorinated groups and improve affinity with a fluorinated lubricant. The pristine nanoporous film was characterized to determine its morphology, thickness, wettability, and porosity. The lubricant-infused film was then tested for its lubricant layer stability upon various washing conditions and its performance against bacterial biofilm adherence as a result of its slippery property. Overall, the modified silica nanoparticulate thin film demonstrated potential as a base substrate for lubricant-infused surface fabrication that repelled against ambient aqueous solvents and as an anti-biofouling coating that demonstrated low biofilm coverage and colony forming unit values. Further optimization to improve lubricant retention or incorporation of a secondary function can aid in developing better coatings for biofilm mitigation.

Abstract
The soil microbiome is involved in the processes of microbial corrosion, in particular, by the formation of biofilm. It has been proposed that an environmentally friendly solution to this corrosion might be through biological control. Bacillus velezensis NUChC C2b, Streptomyces gardneri ChNPU F3 and S. canus NUChC F2 were investigated as potentially 'green' biocides to prevent attachment to glass as a model surface and the formation of heterotrophic bacterial biofilm which participates in the corrosion process. Results showed high antagonistic and antibiofilm properties of S. gardneri ChNPU F3; which may be related to the formation of secondary antimicrobial metabolites by this strain. B. velezensis NUChC C2b and S. gardneri ChNPU F3 could be incorporated into green biocides - as components of antibiofilm agents that will protect material from bacterial corrosion or as agents that will prevent historical heritage damage.

Abstract
Although the potential corrosive microbial communities of the refined oil pipelines can cause pipeline failure which directly threatens on soil and water environment, few studies have been published in this field. Therefore, the long-distance on-site internal corrosion detection and high-throughput sequencing techniques were employed in this study to investigate the distribution shifts of the corrosive microbial communities on the inner wall of a refined oil pipeline and its impact on the internal corrosion. The microorganisms colonizing on the inner wall of the pipeline showed significant distribution differences between the axial direction of the relative elevation and radial direction of the cross-section. On the inner wall, the high diversity and the abundance of the corrosive microbial communities induced serious microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), while the chemical corrosion and the synergy of the corrosive microbial communities accelerated the internal corrosion of the refined oil pipeline. A corrosion zone model has been proposed, which divides the pipeline cross-section into the sediment, the water-oil interface, the gas-oil interface, and the oil fully immersed zones. Therefore, the relationships between the environment, corrosion degree, and distribution characteristics of the corrosive microbial communities in the pipeline were analyzed. This research exhibited the importance of the distribution characteristics of the corrosive microorganisms on the inner wall of the refined oil pipelines. Its internal corrosion behavior was accurately explored, while providing a basis for controlling the corrosive microbial communities.

Abstract
Bacteria can form dense communities called biofilms, where cells are embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix. Exploiting competitive interactions between strains within the biofilm context can have potential applications in biological, medical, and industrial systems. By combining mathematical modelling with experimental assays, we reveal that spatial structure and competitive dynamics within biofilms are significantly affected by the location and density of the founder cells used to inoculate the biofilm. Using a species-independent theoretical framework describing colony biofilm formation, we show that the observed spatial structure and relative strain biomass in a mature biofilm comprising two isogenic strains can be mapped directly to the geographical distributions of founder cells. Moreover, we define a predictor of competitive outcome that accurately forecasts relative abundance of strains based solely on the founder cells' potential for radial expansion. Consequently, we reveal that variability of competitive outcome in biofilms inoculated at low founder density is a natural consequence of the random positioning of founding cells in the inoculum. Extension of our study to non-isogenic strains that interact through local antagonisms, shows that even for strains with different competition strengths, a race for space remains the dominant mode of competition in low founder density biofilms. Our results, verified by experimental assays using Bacillus subtilis, highlight the importance of spatial dynamics on competitive interactions within biofilms and hence to related applications.

Abstract
Marine biofilms are ubiquitous in the marine environment. These complex microbial communities rapidly respond to environmental changes and encompass hugely diverse microbial structures, functions and metabolisms. Nevertheless, knowledge is limited on the microbial community structures and functions of natural marine biofilms and their influence on global geochemical cycles. Microbial cues, including secondary metabolites and microbial structures, regulate interactions between microorganisms, with their environment and with other benthic organisms, which affects their community succession and metamorphosis. Furthermore, marine biofilms are key mediators of marine biofouling, which greatly affect marine industries. In this Review, we discuss marine biofilm dynamics, including their diversity, abundance and functions. We also highlight knowledge gaps, areas for future research and potential biotechnological applications of marine biofilms.

Abstract
The dominant factors in Microbial Influenced Corrosion (MIC) are hard to determine because normally several individual species and their metabolites are involved, and, moreover, different metabolites may cause opposing effects. To address this problem, the effects of individual metabolites from different species should be elucidated when at the same time other metabolites are held constant. In this study, the role is investigated of simulated organic acid metabolites, namely, acetic and L–ascorbic acids, on corrosion of geo-energy pipelines (carbon steel) in a simulated Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) environment. The SRB environment is simulated using a calcium alginate biofilm, abiotic sulfide, CO2, and NaCl brine. The electrochemical results show that both simulated organic acid metabolites accelerate corrosion in a simulated SRB environment. The results are further supported by electrochemical weight losses, kinetic corrosion activation parameters, multiple linear regression, ICP-OES, pH, and XRD. However, a comparison of electrochemical results with those published in the literature for a simulated SRB environment without acetic or L-ascorbic acid under similar experimental conditions shows that the presence of acetic in this study results in lower corrosion current densities while in presence of L-ascorbic acid results into higher corrosion current densities. This implies that acetic and L-ascorbic acids inhibit and accelerate corrosion, respectively. In addition, the results highlight that H2S is a key role of corrosion in the presence of organic acid. The results of this study are important new and novel information on the role of acetic and L-ascorbic acids in corrosion of geo-energy pipelines in the SRB environment.

Abstract
Regardless of the long record of research works based on microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), its principle and mechanism, which lead to accelerated corrosion, is yet to be fully understood. MIC is observed on different metallic substrates and can be caused by a wide variety of microorganisms with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) being considered the most prominent and economically destructive one. Copper and its alloys, despite being used as an antimicrobial agent, are recorded to be susceptible to microbial corrosion. This review offers a research overview on MIC of copper and its alloys in anaerobic aqueous environments. Proposed MIC mechanisms, recent work and developments as well as MIC inhibition techniques are presented focusing on potable water systems and marine environment. In the future research perspectives section, the importance and possible contribution of knowledge about intrinsic properties of substrate material are discussed with the intent to bridge the knowledge gap between microbiology and materials science related to MIC.

Abstract
Biofilms formed on metal surfaces strongly affect metallic instruments serving in marine environments. However, due to sampling difficulty, less has been known about the bacterial communities of the biofilm on metallic surfaces in hadal environments, so the failure process of these deep-sea metallic instruments influenced by microbial communities could be hardly predicted. In this research, seven alloys, including titanium, aluminum, and copper alloys, were exposed in Yap Trench hadal environment for 1 year. Thus, the communities of the biofilms formed on metallic surfaces at 5,772 m undersea in Yap Trench were initially reported in previous studies. Then, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed to visualize the in situ bacterial communities of the biofilms formed on titanium, aluminum, and copper alloys at 5,772 m undersea in Yap Trench. It was found that Proteobacteria was the dominant phylum in all samples, but distinct genera were discovered on various alloys. The titanium alloy provided a suitable substrate for a mutualistic symbiotic biofilm with abundant bacterial richness. Aluminum alloys without copper components showed the least bacterial richness and formed a cold-adapted and oligotrophic-adapted biofilm containing the genera Sulfurimonas and PS1 Clade, while copper-present alloys showed relatively high bacterial richness with copper-resistant or even copper-utilizing biofilms constituting the genera Stenotrophomonas, Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia, and Achromobacter on the surfaces. Furthermore, among all the element components contained in alloys investigated in this research, copper element showed the strongest influences on the composition and function of microbial communities in the biofilms formed on various metallic surfaces.

Abstract
Cathodic protection (CP), an electrochemical method for managing corrosion, is widely used in many industries in both marine and buried environments. However, literature surrounding cathodic protection and its ability to prevent microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) is mixed. This review describes the mechanics of CP, how CP may influence MIC, and collates and summarises tests on CP and MIC reported in literature. The aim of the review is to identify any trends and knowledge gaps requiring further study. While the outcomes of CP testing are generally mixed, some trends can be seen and, overall, MIC is detrimental to the protective effects of CP, with CP being less effective when used according to current international standards. Tests conducted in the field or with mix communities of microbes showed that CP could be effective at preventing MIC, while tests with sulfate-reducing bacteria generally proved CP to be highly ineffective. It was commonly seen that the effectiveness of CP can be improved by increasing polarization, to potentials as low as -1000 mV (Ag/AgCl). However, a balance does need to be met via careful monitoring to ensure negative side effects of over protection do not become a major problem.

Abstract
The development of environmentally friendly and sustainable corrosion protection technologies is a longstanding yet difficult problem, especially for the marine environment. The utilization of living biofilms isolated from local environments is an effective strategy for infrastructure protection. In this study, three aerobic marine bacteria, Tenacibaculum mesophilum D-6, Tenacibaculum litoreum W-4, and Bacillus sp. Y-6, with strong biofilm-forming abilities were isolated and evaluated for the corrosion protection of X80 carbon steel. The corrosion inhibitory effect of the bacteria was found to be closely related to their biofilm-forming abilities. This conclusion was corroborated by biofilm characterization, electrochemical tests, weight loss analysis, and corrosion product analysis. Moreover, secreted extracellular polymeric substances were identified to play significant roles in corrosion inhibition. Herein, we proposed a novel, eco-friendly, and cost-effective method for corrosion protection of carbon steels in the marine environment, providing guiding principles for identifying corrosion inhibitory bacteria from the local marine environment.

Wang D, Kijkla P, Mohamed ME, Saleh MA, Kumseranee S, Punpruk S, Gu T. Aggressive corrosion of carbon steel by Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5 biofilm was further accelerated by riboflavin. Bioelectrochemistry 2021; 142:107920. [PMID: 34388603 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2021.107920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Revised: 07/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
EET (extracellular electron transfer) is behind MIC (microbiologically influenced corrosion) of carbon steel by SRB (sulfate reducing bacteria). This work evaluated 20 ppm (w/w) riboflavin (an electron mediator) acceleration of C1018 carbon steel MIC by Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5 in enriched artificial seawater (EASW) after 7-d incubation in anaerobic vials at 28 °C. Twenty ppm riboflavin did not significantly change cell growth or alter the corrosion product varieties, but it led to 52% increase in weight loss and 105% increase in pit depth, compared to the control without 20 ppm riboflavin. With 20 ppm riboflavin supplement in EASW, D. ferrophilus yielded weight loss-based corrosion rate of 1.57 mm/y (61.8 mpy), and pit depth growth rate of 2.88 mm/y (113 mpy), highest reported for short-term pure-strain SRB MIC of carbon steel. Electrochemical tests in 450 mL glass cells indicated that the biofilm responded rather quickly to the riboflavin injection (20 ppm in broth) to the culture medium. Polarization resistance (Rp) began to decrease within minutes after injection. Within 2 h, the riboflavin injection led to 31% decrease in Rp and 35% decrease in Rct + Rf from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The Tafel corrosion current density increased 63% 2 h after the injection.

Abstract
Reliable and accurate in situ sensors capable of detecting and quantifying troublesome marine biofilms on metallic surfaces are increasingly necessary. A 0.2 mm diameter gold electrochemical sensor was fully characterized using cyclic voltammetry in abiotic and biotic artificial seawater media within a continuous culture flow cell to detect the growth and development of an aerobic Pseudoalteromonas sp. biofilm. Deconvolution of the abiotic and biotic responses enable the constituent extracellular electron transfer and biofilm responses to be resolved. Differentiation of enhanced oxygen reduction kinetics within the aerobic bacterial biofilm is linked to enzyme and redox mediator activities.

Abstract
Salt water, in addition to being a naturally corrosive environment, also includes factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of the microbial community in the environment that influence degradation processes on metal surfaces. The presence or absence of water flow over the metal surfaces is also an important aspect that influences the corrosion of metals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence or absence of salt water flow in the formation of biofilms grown in 316L stainless steel coupons. For this, the 316L stainless steel coupons were exposed in two different microcosms, the first being a system with continuous salt water flow, and the second without salt water flow system. The results of the sequencing of the 16S rDNA genes showed a clear difference in structures and diversity between the evaluated biofilms. There was greater abundance and diversity in the "In Flux" system when compared to the "No Flux" biofilm. The analysis of bacterial diversity showed a predominance of the Gammaproteobacteria class in both systems. However, at lower taxonomic levels, there were considerable differences in representativeness. Representatives of Vibrionales, Alteromonadales, Oceanospirillales, and Flavobacteriales were predominant in "No Flux", whereas in "In Flux" there was a greater representation of Alteromonadales, Rhodobacterales, and Saprospirales. These findings help to understand how the flow of water influences the dynamics of the formation of microbial biofilms on metal surfaces, which will contribute to the choice of strategies used to mitigate microbial biofouling.

Abstract
Quaternary ammonium compounds have been used as antibacterial materials. However, as they are hydrophilic and produce a positively charged surface, it is challenging to develop a durable antimicrobial coating of such compounds. The objective of this study is to investigate a two-step silane coating incorporated with quaternary ammonium silane for mitigation of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of mild steel in biotic solution (a marine environment with bacteria). The corrosion resistance was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The intact silane coating and that pre-exposed to the biotic solution were characterized by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The most probable method (MPN) was used to quantify the active microorganisms attached to the uncoated and silane-coated surfaces. Electrochemical results reveal that the coating thus developed improved the corrosion resistance of steel in the biotic solution. The MPN, FTIR, and scanning electron microscopy suggest a significant decrease in the number of active cells that get attached to the coated surface.

Abstract
Microbial activities can change the properties of biofilm/metal interfaces to accelerate or decelerate the corrosion of metals in a given environment. Microbiologically influenced corrosion inhibition (MICI) is the inhibition of corrosion that is directly or indirectly induced by microbial action. Compared with conventional methods for protection from corrosion, MICI is environmentally friendly and an emerging approach for the prevention and treatment of (bio)corrosion. However, due to the diversity of microorganisms and the fact that their metabolic processes are greatly complicated by environmental factors, MICI is still facing challenges for practical application. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of MICI under different conditions and their advantages and disadvantages for potential applications in corrosion protection.

Abstract
Corrosion under flow conditions is a major problem in the transportation industry. Various studies have shown the direct impact of different flow rates on bacteria biofilm formation, mass transfer and resulting different corrosion behaviour of materials in neutral environments. However, little is understood on corrosion under acidic flow conditions. This study investigated the impact of an acidic artificial seawater environment containing Desulfovibrio vulgaris on DSS 2205 microbial corrosion under different velocities (0.25 m.s-1 and 0.61 m.s-1). Experiments containing no bacteria were performed as controls. Bacterial attachment was observed by optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Materials corrosion was assessed using open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization. Pits formed after potentiodynamic test were observed under SEM. The largest area of bacterial attachment was found on coupons immersed at a velocity of 0.25 m.s-1; however, the corrosion rate was lower than at higher velocity. Shallow pits occurred in the metal coupons when bacteria were present, while deep pits occurred in the controls. The study indicates the positive impact of biofilm formation in corrosion prevention of materials under acidic condition. The nature of corrosion behaviour of duplex stainless is discussed.

Abstract
Iron-redox cycling microorganisms are important for understanding the biogeochemical iron and play key roles in zero-valent iron (ZVI) mediated environmental bioremediation. Their influence on ZVI oxidation coupling with organic contaminant removal is of particular interest but is still poorly understood. The objective of this research was to study microbial redox cycles of iron in ZVI oxidation and deca-brominated diphenyl ether (deca-BDE) removal. It was found that iron-oxidizing bacteria (IOB) enhanced ZVI oxidation by using iron as the sole electron donor. Iron-reducing bacteria (IRB) with high activity of Fe (III) reduction, also significantly accelerated rather than inhibited ZVI oxidation. ZVI oxidation activity was increased from 3.42% to 24.28% by IOB and 19.49% by IRB. When deca-BDE was present in the medium, ZVI oxidation activity by IOB and IRB was increased from 2.67% to 48.33% and 64.33%, respectively. However, no co-accelerating effect of IOB and IRB occurred but rather a neutralizing influence on ZVI oxidation was detected with iron-redox cycling bacteria (IORB). ZVI oxidation activity by IORB only increased to 13.14% and 37.0% in the absence and presence of deca-BDE, respectively. Meanwhile, IRB also exhibited the highest removal activity of deca-BDE. Approximately 71.67% of deca-BDE was removed by IRB, compared to 18.91% by IOB and 43.24% by IORB. Deca-BDE significantly influenced the effects of iron-metabolizing microorganisms on ZVI oxidation by altering the composition of microbial communities. Pseudomonas, Paenibacillus, and Sporolactobacillus were the key genera influencing ZVI oxidation and deca-BDE removal. Sporolactobacillus was firstly reported to be able to stimulate both ZVI oxidation and deca-BDE removal. Pseudomonas accelerated ZVI oxidation but had no significant contribution to deca-BDE removal. However, Paenibacillus inhibited both Fe(III) reduction and deca-BDE removal. It is expected that continuous integration of ZVI oxidation and organic contaminant removal can be achieved by regulating the key genera in iron-metabolizing microbial communities.

Abstract
The biofilm of Bacillus cereus on the surface of X80 pipeline steel was investigated from forming to shedding. Based on the observed biofilm morphology and pit analysis, it was found that B. cereus biofilm could stimulate X80 pipeline steel pitting corrosion, which was attributed to the nitrate reduction of bacteria beneath the biofilm. Electrochemical measurements and general corrosion rate results showed that B. cereus biofilm can better accelerate X80 pipeline steel corrosion compared to sterile solutions. Interestingly, the results also showed that thick biofilms had a slight tendency to inhibit the general corrosion process compared with its formation and exfoliation, which was confirmed by scanning Kelvin probe. The corrosion rate of X80 pipeline steel in artificial Beijing soil is closely related to the state of the biofilm, and nitrate reducing bacteria accelerates the occurrence of pits. The corresponding corrosion mechanisms are proposed.

Abstract
Shipwrecks act as artificial reefs and provide a solid surface in aquatic systems for many different forms of life to attach to, especially microbial communities, making them a hotspot of biogeochemical cycling. Depending on the microbial community and surrounding environment, they may either contribute to the wreck’s preservation or deterioration. Even within a single wreck, preservation and deterioration processes may vary, suggesting that the microbial community may also vary. This study aimed to identify the differences through widespread sampling of the microbial communities associated with the Pappy Lane shipwreck (NC shipwreck site #PAS0001), a shallow water ferrous-hulled shipwreck in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina to determine if there are differences across the wreck as well as from its surrounding environment. Loose shipwreck debris, drilled shipcores, surrounding sediment, and seawater samples were collected from the Pappy Lane shipwreck to characterize the microbial communities on and around the shipwreck. Results indicated that the shipwreck samples were more similar to each other than the surrounding sediment and aquatic environments suggesting they have made a specialized niche associated with the shipwreck. There were differences between the microbial community across the shipwreck, including between visibly corroded and non-corroded shipwreck debris pieces. Relative abundance estimates for neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB), an organism that may contribute to deterioration through biocorrosion, revealed they are present across the shipwreck and at highest abundance on the samples containing visible corrosion products. Zetaproteobacteria, a known class of marine iron-oxidizers, were also found in higher abundance on shipwreck samples with visible corrosion. A novel Zetaproteobacteria strain, Mariprofundus ferrooxydans O1, was isolated from one of the shipwreck pieces and its genome analyzed to elucidate the functional potential of the organism. In addition to iron oxidation pathways, the isolate has the genomic potential to perform carbon fixation in both high and low oxygen environments, as well as perform nitrogen fixation, contributing to the overall biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and metals in the shipwreck ecosystem. By understanding the microbial communities associated with shallow water ferrous-hulled shipwrecks, better management strategies and preservation plans can be put into place to preserve these artificial reefs and non-renewable cultural resources.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms are complex surface attached communities of bacteria held together by self-produced polymer matrixs mainly composed of polysaccharides, secreted proteins, and extracellular DNAs. Bacterial biofilm formation is a complex process and can be described in five main phases: (i) reversible attachment phase, where bacteria non-specifically attach to surfaces; (ii) irreversible attachment phase, which involves interaction between bacterial cells and a surface using bacterial adhesins such as fimbriae and lipopolysaccharide (LPS); (iii) production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) by the resident bacterial cells; (iv) biofilm maturation phase, in which bacterial cells synthesize and release signaling molecules to sense the presence of each other, conducing to the formation of microcolony and maturation of biofilms; and (v) dispersal/detachment phase, where the bacterial cells depart biofilms and comeback to independent planktonic lifestyle. Biofilm formation is detrimental in healthcare, drinking water distribution systems, food, and marine industries, etc. As a result, current studies have been focused toward control and prevention of biofilms. In an effort to get rid of harmful biofilms, various techniques and approaches have been employed that interfere with bacterial attachment, bacterial communication systems (quorum sensing, QS), and biofilm matrixs. Biofilms, however, also offer beneficial roles in a variety of fields including applications in plant protection, bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and corrosion inhibition amongst others. Development of beneficial biofilms can be promoted through manipulation of adhesion surfaces, QS and environmental conditions. This review describes the events involved in bacterial biofilm formation, lists the negative and positive aspects associated with bacterial biofilms, elaborates the main strategies currently used to regulate establishment of harmful bacterial biofilms as well as certain strategies employed to encourage formation of beneficial bacterial biofilms, and highlights the future perspectives of bacterial biofilms.

Bacterial biofilms are formed by the complex but ordered regulation of intra- or inter-cellular communication, environmentally responsive gene expression, and secretion of extracellular polymeric substances. Given the robust nature of biofilms due to the non-growing nature of biofilm bacteria and the physical barrier provided by the extracellular matrix, eradicating biofilms is a very difficult task to accomplish with conventional antibiotic or disinfectant treatments. Synthetic biology holds substantial promise for controlling biofilms by improving and expanding existing biological tools, introducing novel functions to the system, and re-conceptualizing gene regulation. This review summarizes synthetic biology approaches used to eradicate biofilms via protein engineering of biofilm-related enzymes, utilization of synthetic genetic circuits, and the development of functional living agents. Synthetic biology also enables beneficial applications of biofilms through the production of biomaterials and patterning biofilms with specific temporal and spatial structures. Advances in synthetic biology will add novel biofilm functionalities for future therapeutic, biomanufacturing, and environmental applications.

Abstract
Biofouling proceeds in successive steps where the primary colonizers affect the phylogenetic and functional structure of a future microbial consortium. Using microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) as a study case, a novel approach for material surface protection is described, which does not prevent biofouling, but rather shapes the process of natural biofilm development to exclude MIC-related microorganisms. This approach interferes with the early steps of natural biofilm formation affecting how the community is finally developed. It is based on a multilayer artificial biofilm, composed of electrostatically modified bacterial cells, producing antimicrobial compounds, extracellular antimicrobial polyelectrolyte matrix, and a water-proof rubber elastomer barrier. The artificial biofilm is constructed layer-by-layer (LBL) by manipulating the electrostatic interactions between microbial cells and material surfaces. Field testing on standard steel coupons exposed in the sea for more than 30 days followed by laboratory analyses using molecular-biology tools demonstrate that the preapplied artificial biofilm affects the phylogenetic structure of the developing natural biofilm, reducing phylogenetic diversity and excluding MIC-related bacteria. This sustainable solution for material protection showcases the usefulness of artificially guiding microbial evolutionary processes via the electrostatic modification and controlled delivery of bacterial cells and extracellular matrix to the exposed material surfaces.

High-Level Abundances of Methanobacteriales and Syntrophobacterales May Help To Prevent Corrosion of Metal Sheet Piles. Appl Environ Microbiol 2019; 85:AEM.01369-19. [PMID: 31420342 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01369-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2019] [Accepted: 08/11/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Iron sheet piles are widely used in flood protection, dike construction, and river bank reinforcement. Their corrosion leads to gradual deterioration and often makes replacement necessary. Natural deposit layers on these sheet piles can prevent degradation and significantly increase their life span. However, little is known about the mechanisms of natural protective layer formation. Here, we studied the microbially diverse populations of corrosion-protective deposit layers on iron sheet piles at the Gouderak pumping station in Zuid-Holland, the Netherlands. Deposit layers, surrounding sediment and top sediment samples were analyzed for soil physicochemical parameters, microbially diverse populations, and metabolic potential. Methanogens appeared to be enriched 18-fold in the deposit layers. After sequencing, metagenome assembly and binning, we obtained four nearly complete draft genomes of microorganisms (Methanobacteriales, two Coriobacteriales, and Syntrophobacterales) that were highly enriched in the deposit layers, strongly indicating a potential role in corrosion protection. Coriobacteriales and Syntrophobacterales could be part of a microbial food web degrading organic matter to supply methanogenic substrates. Methane-producing Methanobacteriales could metabolize iron, which may initially lead to mild corrosion but potentially stimulates the formation of a carbonate-rich protective deposit layer in the long term. In addition, Methanobacteriales and Coriobacteriales have the potential to interact with metal surfaces via direct interspecies or extracellular electron transfer. In conclusion, our study provides valuable insights into microbial populations involved in iron corrosion protection and potentially enables the development of novel strategies for in situ screening of iron sheet piles in order to reduce risks and develop more sustainable replacement practices.IMPORTANCE Iron sheet piles are widely used to reinforce dikes and river banks. Damage due to iron corrosion poses a significant safety risk and has significant economic impact. Different groups of microorganisms are known to either stimulate or inhibit the corrosion process. Recently, natural corrosion-protective deposit layers were found on sheet piles. Analyses of the microbial composition indicated a potential role for methane-producing archaea. However, the full metabolic potential of the microbial communities within these protective layers has not been determined. The significance of this work lies in the reconstruction of the microbial food web of natural corrosion-protective layers isolated from noncorroding metal sheet piles. With this work, we provide insights into the microbiological mechanisms that potentially promote corrosion protection in freshwater ecosystems. Our findings could support the development of screening protocols to assess the integrity of iron sheet piles to decide whether replacement is required.

Abstract
The corrosion mechanism of carbon steel under deposit in the presence of sulfate reducing bacterium (SRB) Desulfotomaculum nigrificans was studied using surface analysis, weight loss and electrochemical measurements. Results showed that both the general corrosion and localized corrosion were considerably promoted by SRB under deposit. The corrosion rate of steel in the presence of SRB was approximately 6 times of that for the control according to the weight loss measurements. The maximum corrosion pit depth in the presence of SRB was approximately 7.7 times of that of the control. Both the anodic and cathodic reactions were significantly accelerated by SRB. A galvanic effect in the presence of SRB due to the heterogeneous biofilm led to serious localized corrosion.

Abstract
High-throughput sequencing was used to visualize microbial biocoenoses on different metallic surfaces and rust layers of highly corroded steels after immersion in coastal marine water for 30 months at Sanya, China. Distinct microbial community compositions were observed on these metallic surfaces. The dominant genus was the copper-tolerant, acid-producing Lactobacillus on copper alloys, the common aerobic surface colonizers Bacillus and Ruegeria on aluminum alloys, and aerobic biofilm-forming Pseudomonas on carbon steel. Most of these are copiotrophic microbes compared to planktonic microbes, which are oligotrophic. Additionally, sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRP) were detected in the rust layer, but the dominant genera changed from the outer layer to the inner part. The dominant genera detected in the outer, middle and inner rusts layers were Desulfotomaculum, Desulfonatronum (obligate anaerobe) and Desulfovibiro (electroactive), respectively. Further, the coexistence of methanogens with SRP suggests interspecies interactions.

Abstract
Chemicals and synthetic coatings are widely used to protect steel against corrosion. Bio-based corrosion inhibition strategies can be an alternative in the arising bioeconomy era. To maintain the good state of steel reinforcement in cracked concrete, microbe-based self-healing cementitious composites (MSCC) have been developed. Yet, proposed strategies involve reasonably slow crack filling by biomineralization and thus risk the possible rebar corrosion during crack healing. Here we upgrade the rebar protection to a higher level by combining MSCC with microbial induced corrosion inhibition. Presented NO3- reducing bacterial granules inhibit rebar corrosion by producing the anodic corrosion inhibitor NO2- and meanwhile heal a 300-µm-wide crack in 28 days. During 120 days exposure to 0.5 M Cl- solution, the rebars in cracked MSCC keep showing open circuit potentials above the critical value of -250 mV and they lose less than 2% of the total rebar material which corresponds to half the material loss in cracked plain mortar. Overall, the obtained rebar protection performance is comparable with that of uncracked mortar and mortar containing chemical inhibitor, hence the microbe-based system becomes an alternative to the traditional methods.
