Abstract
Microbial biofilms and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) pose serious problems in pipelines transporting freshwater from the reservoir to service water systems and fire water systems of power reactors. The present work aims to design a silane-based epoxy-biocide hybrid coating along with antibacterial compounds on carbon steels (CS) for controlling the MIC of pipeline materials. The optimal inhibitory concentrations of biocides are identified and a robust protocol has been developed to prepare epoxy-based coatings impregnated with three biocides (25 ppm each of benzalkonium chloride, bronopol, and isothiazoline). Microbiological and accelerated corrosion studies were carried out by exposing the coated CS specimens to the enriched freshwater bacterial culture (FWC). As compared to the impedance value of 102 Ohms for the polished CS, the values were 106 and 105 Ohms, respectively, for epoxy-coated specimens (CSE) and epoxy-coated specimens impregnated with biocides (CSEB). The corrosion protection efficiency of CSE and CSEB coated specimens exposed to FWC was 99.9% and 98.1%, respectively. Confocal microscopic analysis showed the average biomass thickness was 51.3 ± 0.6 µm and 24.4 ± 0.5 µm, respectively, for CSE and CSEB specimens in comparison to 94.1 ± 0.2 µm on CS specimens. The improved anticorrosion and antifouling behaviors observed in the CSEB specimens suggest that the new coating strategy has the potential for the development of multifunctional hybrid epoxy coatings for pipeline materials to mitigate MIC-related issues in water-transporting pipeline systems.

Effective Biocorrosive Control in Oil Industry Facilities: 16S rRNA Gene Metabarcoding for Monitoring Microbial Communities in Produced Water. Microorganisms 2023; 11:846.

Abstract
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) or biocorrosion is a complex biological and physicochemical process, Strategies for monitoring MIC are frequently based on microbial cultivation methods, while microbiological molecular methods (MMM) are not well-established in the oil industry in Brazil. Thus, there is a high demand for the development of effective protocols for monitoring biocorrosion with MMM. The main aim of our study was to analyze the physico-chemi- cal features of microbial communities occurring in produced water (PW) and in enrichment cultures in oil pipelines of the petroleum industry. In order to obtain strictly comparable results, the same samples were used for both culturing and metabarcoding. PW samples displayed higher phylogenetic diversity of bacteria and archaea whereas PW enrichments cultures showed higher dominance of bacterial MIC-associated genera. All samples had a core community composed of 19 distinct genera, with MIC-associated Desulfovibrio as the dominant genus. We observed significant associations between the PW and cultured PW samples, with a greater number of associations found between the cultured sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) samples and the uncultured PW samples. When evaluating the correlation between the physicochemical characteristics of the environment and the microbiota of the uncultivated samples, we suggest that the occurrence of anaerobic digestion metabolism can be characterized by well-defined phases. Therefore, the detection of microorganisms in uncultured PW by metabarcoding, along with physi-cochemical characterization, can be a more efficient method compared to the culturing method, as it is a less laborious and cost-effective method for monitoring MIC microbial agents in oil industry facilities.

Abstract
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) have impacted the biocorrosion process for various industrial sectors, especially in the oil and gas industry. The higher stability over extreme conditions is the key parameter for their survival in such environments. So far, many materials have been tried to minimize or control the growth of SRB. In the present study, an organo-metallic compound of the zinc sorbate (ZS) was successfully synthesized by the simple co-precipitation method and its improved antibacterial activity against SRB. The SRB consortia are enriched from the sub-surface soil sample and identified by 16s rDNA sequencing by targeting the V3-V4 region. The most dominating genera identified with sulfate-reducing capability are Sulfurospirillum (42 %), Shewanella (19 %) Bacteroides (14 %), and Desulfovibrio (8 %). Further biocorrosion experiments are conducted by weight loss methods. Higher corrosion current density (Icorr) and less charge transfer resistance (Rct) are observed for the SRB consortia. Concurrently, higher Rct is kept for the inhibitor-included systems. The slowest release of the sorbate into the medium suppressed the growth of the SRB bacterial cells with 86 ± 3 % corrosion inhibition efficiency and prevented further corrosion reactions by forming a protective layer over the surface of the carbon steel API 5LX. The surface analysis strongly confirmed that SRB caused pitting corrosion, which has been suppressed in the inhibitor-included systems.

Abstract
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) has caused great losses to many industries. This paper aimed to study the corrosion behavior of P. aeruginosa on X65 steel. The corrosion behavior of P. aeruginosa on X65 steel under aerobic and anaerobic conditions was studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer and electrochemical analysis techniques. The results showed that the corrosion rate of X65 steel in bacterial environment is higher than that in sterile environment. In anaerobic environment, the corrosion of P. aeruginosa is mainly secreted acidic metabolites, and alkaline substances are corroded in aerobic environment. In general, the corrosion of X65 steel by P. aeruginosa in aerobic environment is more serious than that in anaerobic environment.

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
Microorganisms with extracellular electron transfer (EET) capability have gained significant attention for their different biotechnological applications, like biosensors, bioremediation, and microbial fuel cells. Current research affirmed that microbial EET potentially promotes corrosion of iron structures, termed microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). The sulfate-reducing (SRB) and nitrate-reducing (NRB) bacteria are the most investigated among the different MIC-promoting bacteria. Unlike extensively studied SRB corrosion, NRB corrosion has received less attention from researchers. Hence, this review focuses on EET by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pervasive bacterium competent for developing biofilms in marine habitats and oil pipelines. A comprehensive discussion on the fundamentals of EET mechanisms in MIC is provided first. After that, the review offers state-of-the-art insights into the latest research on the EET-assisted MIC by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The role of electron transfer mediators has also been discussed to understand the mechanisms involved in a better way. This review will be beneficial to open up new opportunities for developing strategies for combating biocorrosion.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the influence of the marine bacteria Bacillus cereus Mc-1 on the corrosion of 1020 carbon steel, 316L stainless steel, and copper alloy. The Mc-1 strain was grown in a modified ammoniacal citrate culture medium (CFA.ico-), CFA.ico- with sodium nitrate supplementation (NO3-), and CFA.ico- with sodium chloride supplementation (NaCl). The mass loss and corrosion rate were evaluated after the periods of 7, 15, and 30 days. The results showed that in CFA.ico- and CFA.ico- medium added NO3- the corrosion rates of carbon steel and copper alloy were high when compared to the control. Whereas the medium was supplemented with NaCl, despite the rates being above the averages of the control system, they were considerably below the previous results. In general, the corrosion rates induced by Mc-1 on 316L coupons were below the results compared to carbon steel and copper alloy. When analyzing the corrosion rate measurements, regardless of the culture medium, the corrosion levels decreased consistently after 15 days, being below the levels evaluated after 7 days of the experiment. Our analyses suggest that B. cereus Mc-1 has different influences on corrosion in different metals and environmental conditions, such as the presence of NO3- and NaCl. These results can help to better understand the influence of this bacteria genus on the corrosion of metals in marine environments.

Abstract
In the present study, produced water sample collected from the Indian crude oil reservoir is used to enrich the bacterial communities. The impact of these enriched bacterial communities on the biodegradation of crude oil, biofilm formation, and biocorrosion process are elucidated. A crude oil degradation study is carried out with the minimal salt medium and 94% of crude oil was utilized by enriched bacterial communities. During the crude oil degradation many enzymes including alkane hydroxylase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and lipase are playing a key role in the biodegradation processes. The role of enriched bacterial biofilm on biocorrosion reactions are monitored by weight loss studies and electrochemical analysis. Weight loss study revealed that the biotic system has vigorous corrosion attacks compared to the abiotic system. Both AC-Impedance and Tafel analysis confirmed that the nature of the corrosion reaction take place in the biotic system. Very less charge transfer resistance and higher corrosion current are observed in the biotic system than in the abiotic system. Scanning electron microscope confirms that the dense biofilm formation favoured the pitting type of corrosion. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms that the metal oxides formed in the corrosion systems (biotic). From the metagenomic analysis of the V3-V4 region revealed that presence of diverse bacterial communities in the biofilm, and most of them are uncultured/unknown. Among the known genus, Bacillus, Halomonas, etc are dominant in the enriched bacterial biofilm sample. From this study, we conclude that the uncultured bacterial strains are found to be playing a key role in the pitting type of corrosion and they can utilize crude oil hydrocarbons, which make them succeeded in extreme oil reservoir environments.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the biocorrosion of API 5L metal buried in saline soils, three different conditions in microcosms were evaluated. The control microcosm contained only saline soil, the second had the addition of petroleum, and the third contained the addition of both petroleum and surfactant. The corrosion rate of the metals was measured by loss of mass after 30 days, and the microbial communities were delineated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing techniques. The species were dominated by halophiles in all samples analyzed. Among the bacteria, the predominant group was Proteobacteria, with emphasis on the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria. Betaproteobacteria and Deltaproteobacteria members were also identified in a smaller number in all conditions. Firmicutes were especially abundant in the control system, although it was persistently present in other conditions evaluated. Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria were also present in a considerable number of OTUs in the three microcosms. Halobacteria were predominant among archaea and were present in all conditions. The analysis pointed to a conclusion that in the control microcosm, the corrosion rate was higher, while the microcosm containing only oil had the lowest corrosion rate. These results suggest that, under these conditions, the entry of other carbon sources favors the presence of petroleum degraders, rather than samples involved in the corrosion of metals.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) related staphylococcal infection is one of the most common types of hospital-acquired infections, which requires selective and effective treatment in clinical practice. Considering gelatinase as a characteristic feature of S. aureus, gelatinase-responsive release of the antibiotic reagent thereby can target the pathogenic S. aureus while sparing beneficial bacteria in the microflora. In this work, we design a hybrid antibacterial photodynamic peptide (APP, Ce6-GKRWWKWWRRPLGVRGC) based on the polycationic antimicrobial peptide GKRWWKWWRR by introducing a photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) at the N-terminus, a cysteine residue at the C-terminus, and a gelatinase cleavage site (PLGVRG) inserted between the C-terminal cysteine and the polycationic peptide. This multi-motif peptide assembles with gold nanoclusters (AuNc) via Au-thiol bonding and affords a gelatinase-responsive antibacterial photodynamic nanocomposite (GRAPN). In vitro results show that the gelatinase secreted by S. aureus can cleave and release APP from AuNc, thereby resulting in preferential killing of S. aureus over E. coli. In a mouse model of staphylococcal skin wound infection, by integrating gelatinase-responsive drug release and the synergistic effect of a photodynamic agent and APP, GRAPN exhibits a marked photodynamic antibacterial activity, effectively eradicates S. aureus infection, and promotes rapid healing of the infected wounds.

Abstract
In the present investigation, biocorrosion inhibition efficiency of Syzygium aromaticum (clove) aqueous extract on carbon steel in presence of four corrosion causing bacterial strains (Bacillus subtilis, Streptomyces parvus, Pseudomonas stutzeri, and Acinetobacter baumannii) was explored. Weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and AC impedance studies were carried out with and without bacterial strains and clove extract. The results obtained from weight loss and AC impedance studies indicate that these corrosion causing bacterial strains accelerated the biocorrosion reaction and biofilm playing a key role in this process. However, the addition of clove extract into the corrosive medium decreased the corrosion current and increased the solution and charge transfer resistance. The significant inhibition efficiency of about 87% was archived in the mixed consortia system with clove extract. The bioactive compounds were playing an important role in the antibacterial activity of the clove extract. It was revealed that clove extract has both biocidal and corrosion inhibition properties.

Abstract
The present study evaluating the coupling between bioremediation (BIO) and electrokinetic (EK) remediation of crude oil hydrocarbon by using bio-electrokinetic (BIO-EK) technique. The application of bacterial biosurfactant (BS) may increase the remediation efficiency by increasing the solubility of organic materials. In this work, the potential biosurfactant producing marine bacteria were isolated and identified by 16S rDNA analysis namely Bacillus subtilis AS2, Bacillus licheniformis AS3 and Bacillus velezensis AS4. Biodegradation efficiency of crude oil was found as 88%, 92% and 97% for strain AS2, AS3 and AS4 respectively, with the optimum temperature of 37 °C and pH 7. FTIR confirm the BS belongs to lipopeptide in nature. GCMS reveals that three isolates degraded the lower to higher molecular weight of the crude oil (C8 to C28) effectively. Results showed that use of BS in electokinetic remediation enhance the biodegradation rate of crude oil contaminated soil about 92% than EK (60%) in 2 days operation. BS enhances the solubilization of hydrocarbon and it leads to the faster electromigration of hydrocarbon to the anodic compartment, which was confirmed by the presence of higher total organic content than the EK. This study proven that the BIO-EK combined with BS can be used to enhance in situ bioremediation of petroleum contaminated soils.

Abstract
In this review article, illustrating the impact and fundamental stuff of microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) along with mechanism, maintenance of materials, human life, wellbeing and inhibitors for cooling towers. Corrosion is a natural mechanism of oxidation and reduction of metal ions by chemical and electrochemical processes and microorganism accumulation. MIC occurs through the aggregation of microbes which can be secreting the extra polymeric substances (EPS) that oxidation of the metal surface. According to the reviews, in the cooling water system, the corrosion begins in the anode charge because its oxidation reaction quickly takes place on the metal surface than the cathode charge. Annihilate the corrosion process needs certain helper substances such as chemical or green compounds, called inhibitors. Corrosion inhibitors typically adopt the adsorption mechanism due to the presence of organic hetero atoms. Chemical and green inhibitors are used to prevent corrosion processes and since ancient times, vast quantities of chemical inhibitors have been used in industry due to their effectiveness and consistency. But still, the chemical inhibitors are more toxic to humans and the environment. Instead of chemical inhibitors, green inhibitors (natural products like plant leaves, flowers, stem, buds, roots and sea algae) are developed and used in industries. Generally, green inhibitors contain natural compounds, high inhibition efficiency, economic, eco- and human-friendly, and strong potential features against corrosion. Thus, a lot of research is ongoing to discover the green inhibitors in various parts of plants and seaweeds.

Abstract
This study aimed to characterize the biofilm microbial community that causes corrosion of API 5LX carbon steel. API 5LX carbon steel coupons were incubated with raw produced water collected from two oil reservoir stations or filter-sterilized produced water. Biofilm 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing revealed that the bacterial community present in the biofilm was dominated by Proteobacteria, including Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclaustics and Marinobacter alkaliphilus. Electrochemical analysis such as impedance and polarization results indicated that Proteobacteria biofilm accelerated corrosion by ~ twofold (2.1 ± 0.61 mm/years) or ~ fourfold (~ 3.7 ± 0.42 mm/years) when compared to the control treatment (0.95 ± 0.1 mm/years). Scanning electron and atomic force microscopy revealed the presence of a thick biofilm and pitting corrosion. X-ray diffraction revealed higher amounts of the corrosion products Fe2O3, γ-FeOOH, and α-FeOOH, and confirmed that the microbial biofilm strongly oxidized the iron and contributed to the acceleration of corrosion of carbon metal API 5LX.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human pathogen capable to form robust biofilms. P. aeruginosa biofilms represent a serious problem because of the adverse effects on human health and industry, from sanitary and economic points of view. Typical strategies to break down biofilms have been long used, such as the use of disinfectants or antibiotics, but also, according to their high resistance to standard antimicrobial approaches, alternative strategies employing photocatalysis or control of biofilm formation by modifying surfaces, have been proposed. Colony forming units (cfu) counting and live/dead staining, two classic techniques used for biofilm quantification, are detailed in this work. Both methods assess cell viability, a key factor to analyze the microbial susceptibility to given treatment, then, they represent a good approach for evaluation of an antibiofilm strategy.

Abstract
Methanolic extract of Artemisia pallens (MEAP) (Asteraceae) was explored as greenbiocorrosion inhibitor for mild steel 1010 in 1.5% sodium chloride environment. Bacillus megaterium SKR7 induces the development of biofilm on the metal surface and forms the pitting corrosion. MEAP was showed (25 ppm) optimum inhibition effect of biocorrosion and further corrosion rate was highly reduced (0.3335 mm/year) than the control system (0.009 mm/year). The electrochemical study has supported the results with a higher value of total resistance (34 Ω cm2) when compared to control systems. It reveals the formation of a protective layer on the metal surface and reduces the adsorption of biofilm. This was due to the antimicrobial effect of MEAP. Overall, the results recognized that MEAP used as a green corrosion inhibitor for MS 1010 with 83% inhibition efficiency.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a versatile bacterium present in terrestrial and aquatic environments and a relevant opportunistic human pathogen, is largely known for the production of robust biofilms. The unique properties of these structures complicate biofilm eradication, because they make the biofilms very resistant to diverse antibacterial agents. Biofilm development and establishment is a complex process regulated by multiple regulatory genetic systems, among them is quorum sensing (QS), a mechanism employed by bacteria to regulate gene transcription in response to population density. In addition, environmental factors such as UVA radiation (400-315 nm) have been linked to biofilm formation. In this work, we further investigate the mechanism underlying the induction of biofilm formation by UVA, analysing the role of QS in this phenomenon. We demonstrate that UVA induces key genes of the Las and Rhl QS systems at the transcriptional level. We also report that pelA and pslA genes, which are essential for biofilm formation and whose transcription depends in part on QS, are significantly induced under UVA exposure. Finally, the results demonstrate that in a relA strain (impaired for ppGpp production), the UVA treatment does not induce biofilm formation or QS genes, suggesting that the increase of biofilm formation due to exposure to UVA in P. aeruginosa could rely on a ppGpp-dependent QS induction.

[PMID: 32486037 PMCID: PMC7321122 DOI: 10.3390/ma13112484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2020] [Revised: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
In this work, uniform cross-linked chitosan/lignosulfonate (CS/LS) nanospheres with an average diameter of 150–200 nm have been successfully used as a novel, environmentally friendly biocide for the inhibition of mixed sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) culture, thereby controlling microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) on carbon steel. It was found that 500 µg·mL−1 of the CS/LS nanospheres can be used efficiently for the inhibition of SRB-induced corrosion up to a maximum of 85% indicated by a two fold increase of charge transfer resistance (Rct) on the carbon steel coupons. The hydrophilic surface of CS/LS can readily bind to the negatively charged bacterial surfaces and thereby leads to the inactivation or damage of bacterial cells. In addition, the film formation ability of chitosan on the coupon surface may have formed a protective layer to prevent the biofilm formation by hindering the initial bacterial attachment, thus leading to the reduction of corrosion.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the corrosive action of microorganisms on 316L metal exposed directly to a marine environment, a system was designed to immerse coupons in seawater. After periods of 30, 60 and 90 days, the coupons were recovered, the corrosion rates evaluated and the biofilm samples on their surface were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The results of the corrosion rate showed an acceleration over the entire experimental period. Alpha diversity measurements showed higher rates after 60 days of the experiment, while abundance measurements showed higher rates after 90 days of exposure to the marine environment. The beta-diversity results showed a clear separation between the three conditions and proximity in the indices between replicates of the same experimental condition. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that after 30 days of exposure to seawater, there was massive representativeness of the pioneer bacteria, Gamma and Alphaproteobacteria, with emphasis on the genera Alcanivorax, Oceanospirillum and Shewanella. At the 60-day analysis, the Gammaproteobacteria class remained dominant, followed by Alphaproteobacteria and Flavobacteria, and the main representatives were Flexibacter and Pseudoalteromonas. In the last analysis, after 90 days, a change in the described bacterial community profile was observed. The Gammaproteobacteria class was still the largest in diversity and OTUs. The most predominant genera in number of OTUs were Alteromonas, Bacteriovorax and, Nautella. Our results describe a change in the microbial community over coupons directly exposed to the marine environment, suggesting a redirection to the formation of a mature biofilm. The conditions created by the biofilm structure suggest said condition favor biocorrosion on the analyzed coupons.

Changes in microbial community in the presence of oil and chemical dispersant and their effects on the corrosion of API 5L steel coupons in a marine-simulated microcosm. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:6397-6411. [PMID: 32458139 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-10688-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2020] [Revised: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 05/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
The influence of crude oil and chemical dispersant was evaluated over planktonic bacteria and biofilms grown on API 5L steel surfaces in microcosm systems. Three conditions were simulated, an untreated marine environment and a marine environment with the presence of crude oil and a containing crude oil and chemical dispersant. The results of coupon corrosion rates indicated that in the oil microcosm, there was a high corrosion rate when compared with the other two systems. Analysis of bacterial communities by 16S rRNA gene sequencing described a clear difference between the different treatments. In plankton communities, the Bacilli and Gammaproteobacteria classes were the most present in numbers of operational taxonomic unit (OTUs). The Vibrionales, Oceanospirillales, and Alteromonadales orders were predominant in the treatment with crude oil, whereas in the microcosm containing oil and chemical dispersant, mainly members of Bacillales order were detected. In the communities analyzed from biofilms attached to the coupons, the most preponderant class was Alphaproteobacteria, followed by Gammaproteobacteria. In the control microcosm, there was a prevalence of the orders Rhodobacterales, Aeromonadales, and Alteromonadales, whereas in the dispersed oil and oil systems, the members of the order Rhodobacterales were present in a larger number of OTUs. These results demonstrate how the presence of a chemical dispersant and oil influence the corrosion rate and bacterial community structures present in the water column and biofilms grown on API 5L steel surfaces in a marine environment. KEY POINTS: • Evaluation of the effects of oil and chemical surfactants on the corrosion of API 5L. • Changes in microbial communities do not present corrosive biofilm on API 5L coupons.

Enhancement of A Cationic Surfactant by Capping Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization and Multiple Applications. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25092007. [PMID: 32344868 PMCID: PMC7249094 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25092007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2020] [Revised: 04/22/2020] [Accepted: 04/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
There is scarce information on cationic surfactants’ biocidal and corrosion inhbibition effects on Slime-Forming Bacteria (SFB) isolated from oil field formation water. Therefore, this work focused on the the synthesis of a cationic surfactant (CS) to increase its features by capping different metal nanoparticles (zinc, ZnNPs-C-CS; manganese, MnNPs-C-CS and tin, SnNPs-C-CS) and used them as biocides and corrosion inhibitors. The cationic surfactant was synthesized and characterized by Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Afterwards, different nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized, and exploited to cap by the CS. The CS and the different nanoparticles capped by the CS were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility against standard bacterial and yeast strains. The synthesized compounds were further evaluated as anti-biofilms agents against positively-developed bacterial biofilms. Moreover, the CS and the ZnNPs-C-CS, MnNPs-C-CS, and SnNPs-C-CS were assessed as potential biocides against SFB, particularly Pseudomonas sp. (isolated from contaminated formation water), and as corrosion inhibitors against cultivated salinity. The results revealed the great effect of the different CS-capped NPs as broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anti-biofilm agents at lower Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs), Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations (MBCs), Minimum Fungicidal Concentrations (MFCs) and Minimum Biofilm Inhibitory Concentrations (MBICs), and the activities were reported in order of SnNPs-C-CS > MnNPs-C-CS > ZnNPs-C-CS > CS. Furthermore, the ZnNPs-C-CS, MnNPs-C-CS, and SnNPs-C-CS demonstrated biocidal and corrosion inhibition effects against Pseudomonas sp. at a salinity of 3.5% NaCl, with metal corrosion inhibition efficiencies of 88.6, 94.0 and 96.9%, in comparison to a CS efficiency of 85.7%. In conclusion, the present work provides a newly synthesized cationic surfactant and has enhanced its antimicrobial and its metal corrosion inhibition effects by capping different nanoparticles, and it has been successfully applied against slime-forming bacteria at a salinity of 3.5% NaCl.

Abstract
Long-term resistance of biomaterials to the bacterial biofilm formation without antibiotic or biocide is highly demanded for biomedical applications. In this work, a novel biodegradable biomaterial with excellent capability to prevent long-term bacterial biofilm formation is prepared by the following two steps. Ethylcarboxybetaine ester analogue methacrylate (ECBEMA), poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate (PEGMA), and 3-methacryloxypropyletris(trimethylsiloxy)silane (TRIS) were copolymerized to obtain p(ECBEMA-PEGMA-TRIS) (PEPT). Then, PEPT was cross-linked by isocyanate-terminated polylactic acid (IPDI-PLA-IPDI) to obtain the final PEPTx-PLAy (x and y are the number-average molecular weights (Mn) of PEPT and PLA, respectively) with optimal mechanical strength and adjustable surface regeneration rate. Static contact angle measurement, protein adsorption measurement, and attenuated total reflectance infrared (ATR-IR) results show that the PEPT19800-PLA800 film surface can generate a zwitterionic layer to resist nonspecific protein adsorption after surface hydrolysis. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) results indicates that the PEPT19800-PLA800 film can undergo gradual degradation of the surface layer at the lowest swelling rate. Particularly, this material can efficiently resist the bacterial biofilm formation of both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria over 14 and 6 days, respectively. Moreover, the material also shows an ideal self-healing feature to adapt to harsh conditions. Thus, this nonfouling material shows great potential in biomedical applications and marine antifouling coatings without antibiotic or biocide.

Effect of Tidal Cycles on Bacterial Biofilm Formation and Biocorrosion of Stainless Steel AISI 316L. JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 2020.

Abstract
The effects of tidal cycles associated with the water level on the biocorrosion of stainless steel AISI 316L were studied. Steel coupons were exposed to different conditions of immersion in mesocosms fed by fresh seawater either continuously or in accordance with the periodicity of natural tides. After 5 and 15 weeks, all coupons were found to have undergone ennoblement associated with the formation of a biofilm. Analysis of the composition of the bacterial community using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) revealed differences in the biological succession. After 15 weeks, exposure to the simulated tidal conditions resulted in biofilms with lesser bacterial richness; the corresponding rate of corrosion, as determined by weight loss, was about 40 times lower compared to the case for the continuous exposure to seawater. Phylogenetic analysis of selected DGGE bands and the inspection of biofilm morphologies revealed that the faster rate of corrosion was associated with the presence of iron-oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria and eukaryotic photosynthetic microorganisms. On the other hand, intermittent exposure to seawater resulted in the succession of microorganisms resistant to the stress associated with sudden environmental changes, which was associated with a low rate of corrosion.

Abstract
Efforts to elucidate the relationships between microorganisms and metal corrosion were mainly directed to understanding the formation of biofilm structures grown on corroded surfaces. The emergence of high throughput DNA sequencing techniques has helped in the description of microbial species involved directly and indirectly in the corrosion processes of alloys. Coupled with sequencing from environmental samples, other methodologies such as metatranscriptome, metaproteomics and metabolomics have allowed a new horizon to be opened on the understanding of the role of corrosive microbial biofilm. Several groups of bacteria and archaea were identified, showing the dominance of Proteobacteria in several samples analyzed and members of groups that previously received less attention, such as Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Our research also shows that metagenomic studies describe the presence of various Archaea domain thermophilic and methanogenic groups associated with metal corrosion. Thus, opening the prospect of describing new microbial groups as possible participants in this current global concern.

Antibiofilm effect of mesoporous titania coatings on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2019; 203:111762.

Abstract
Activation of photocatalytic titania by ultraviolet-A (UVA) radiation has been proposed as a good approach for combating bacteria. Titania powder, in solution or immobilized on a surface, has excellent UVA-assisted killing properties on several microorganisms. However, these properties could not be demonstrated in biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a resistant opportunistic human pathogen that can cause severe complications in patients who are immunocompromised or have burn wounds or cystic fibrosis. P. aeruginosa biofilms have detrimental effects on health and industry, causing serious economic damage. In this study, the effect of titania photocatalysis for controlling P. aeruginosa biofilms was investigated by employing different coatings obtained through sol-gel and evaporation-induced self-assembly. Biofilms were grown on non-mesoporous and mesoporous titania surfaces with different pore sizes, which were achieved based on the use of surfactants Brij-58 and Pluronics-F127. In addition, two structural forms of titania were assayed: amorphous and anatase. As well as inhibiting biofilm formation, these coatings significantly enhanced the bactericidal effect of UVA on P. aeruginosa biofilms. The most efficient surface with regard to total antibacterial effect was the mesoporous Brij-58-templated anatase film, which, compared to control biofilms, decreased the number of viable bacteria by about 5 orders, demonstrating the efficacy of this methodology as a disinfection system.

Abstract
Bio-corrosion is a well-known phenomenon of corrosion caused by bacterial communities. It is considered as a worldwide problem as it causes billion-dollar damages to the pipeline industries (mainly oil and gas) each year. Therefore, this investigation was undertaken to understand the significance of bacterial communities in the bio-corrosion system by studying the physical alteration in the metal surface of coupons through different techniques (EIS, XRD, FT-IR and SEM) and the community identification of consortia responsible for the corrosion. Furthermore, supporting data were obtained from APS reductase assays and DAPI microscopy. The EIS plots suggested that the metal coupons in a biotic system were more prone to corrosion than the coupons in an abiotic system. FT-IR analysis of the biotic system validated the presence of magnetite (Fe3O4), goethite (α-FeOOH) and lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH); the XRD spectrum confirmed the presence of oxide and sulphide of iron (Fe3O4 and FeS), which are considered as notable compounds for corroding substances. The community profile indicated the presence of mixed anaerobic consortia containing Firmicutes and Proteobacteria (beta and delta) in the cultured sample. The presence of Desulfovibro sp. and Clostridium sp. in the consortium revealed a synergistic effect, where the by-product of one species acted as a carbon source for the other species, which further established the bio-corrosion process by depositing oxides of iron and sulphur on the metal coupon surface. This study signifies that a mixed culture has a greater impact on the bio-corrosion process than the pure and single culture of Desulfovibro sp. Furthermore, this study also provides a bio-monitoring strategy for the pipeline industries.

Abstract
Thermophilic bacterial communities generate thick biofilm on carbon steel API 5LX and produce extracellular metabolic products to accelerate the corrosion process in oil reservoirs. In the present study, nine thermophilic biocorrosive bacterial strains belonging to Bacillus and Geobacillus were isolated from the crude oil and produced water sample, and identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The biodegradation efficiency of hydrocarbons was found to be high in the presence of bacterial isolates MN6 (82%), IR4 (94%) and IR2 (87%). During the biodegradation process, induction of the catabolic enzymes such as alkane hydroxylase, alcohol dehydrogenase and lipase were also examined in these isolates. Among them, the highest activity of alkane hydroxylase (130 µmol mg-1 protein) in IR4, alcohol dehydrogenase (70 µmol mg-1 protein) in IR2, and higher lipase activity in IR4 (60 µmol mg-1 protein) was observed. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction data showed that these isolates oxidize iron into ferrous/ferric oxides as the corrosion products on the carbon steel surface, whilst the crude oil hydrocarbon served as a sole carbon source for bacterial growth and development in such extreme environments.

Abstract
This study provides a deep modern insight into the phylogenetic diversity among bacterial consortia found in working and nonworking high‐methane natural gas pipelines located in Poland. The working pipeline was characterized by lower biodiversity (140–154 bacterial genera from 22 to 23 classes, depending on the source of the debris) in comparison to the off‐gas pipeline (169 bacterial genera from 23 classes). The sediment recovered from the working pipeline contained mostly DNA identified as belonging to the phylum Firmicutes (66.4%–45.9% operational taxonomic units [OTUs]), predominantly Bacillus (41.4%–31.1% OTUs) followed by Lysinibacillus (2.6%–1.5% OTUs) and Clostridium (2.4%–1.8% OTUs). In the nonworking pipeline, Proteobacteria (46.8% OTUs) and Cyanobacteria (27.8% OTUs) were dominant. Over 30% of the Proteobacteria sequences showed homologies to Gammaproteobacteria, with Pseudomonas (7.1%), Enhydrobacter (2.1%), Stenotrophomonas (0.5%), and Haempohilus (0.4%) among the others. Differences were noted in terms of the chemical compositions of deposits originating from the working and nonworking gas pipelines. The deposits from the nonworking gas pipeline contained iron, as well as carbon (42.58%), sulphur (15.27%), and oxygen (15.32%). This composition can be linked to both the quantity and type of the resident microorganisms. The presence of a considerable amount of silicon (17.42%), and of aluminum, potassium, calcium, and magnesium at detectable levels, may likewise affect the metabolic activity of the resident consortia in the working gas pipeline. All the analyzed sediments included both bacteria known for causing and intensifying corrosion (e.g., Pseudomonas, Desulfovibrio, Shewanella, Serratia) and bacteria that can protect the surface of pipelines against deterioration (e.g., Bacillus). Biocorrosion is not related to a single mechanism or one species of microorganism, but results from the multidirectional activity of multiple microbial communities. The analysis presented here of the state of the microbiome in a gas pipeline during the real gas transport is a particularly valuable element of this work.

Simkins JW, Stewart PS, Seymour JD. Spatiotemporal mapping of oxygen in a microbially-impacted packed bed using 19F Nuclear magnetic resonance oximetry. JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2018; 293:123-133. [PMID: 29940412 PMCID: PMC6047901 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2018.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2018] [Revised: 06/12/2018] [Accepted: 06/13/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
19F magnetic resonance has been used in the medical field for quantifying oxygenation in blood, tissues, and tumors. The 19F NMR oximetry technique exploits the affinity of molecular oxygen for liquid fluorocarbon phases, and the resulting linear dependence of 19F spin-lattice relaxation rate R1 on local oxygen concentration. Bacterial biofilms, aggregates of bacteria encased in a self-secreted matrix of extracellular polymers, are important in environmental, industrial, and clinical settings and oxygen gradients represent a critical determinant of biofilm function. However, measurement of oxygen distribution in biofilms and biofouled porous media is difficult. Here the ability of 19F NMR oximetry to accurately track oxygen profile development in microbial impacted packed bed systems without impacting oxygen transport is demonstrated. Time-stable and inert fluorocarbon containing particles are designed which act as oxygen reporters in porous media systems. Particles are generated by emulsifying and entrapping perfluorooctylbromide (PFOB) into alginate gel, resulting in oxygen-sensing alginate beads that are then used as the solid matrix of the packed bed. 19F oxygenation maps, when combined with 1H velocity maps, allow for insight into the interplay between fluid dynamics and oxygen transport phenomena in these complex biofouled systems. Spatial maps of oxygen consumption rate constants are calculated. The growth characteristics of two bacteria, a non-biofilm forming Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis, a strong biofilm-former, are used to demonstrate the novel data provided by the method.

Abstract
The establishment of bacterial biofilms on abiotic surfaces is a complex process regulated by multiple genetic regulators and environmental factors which are able to modulate the passage of planktonic cells to a sessile state. Solar ultraviolet-A radiation (UVA, 315-400) is one of the main environmental stress factors that bacteria must face at the Earth´s surface. The deleterious effects of UVA are mainly due to oxidative damage. This paper reports that exposure to low UVA doses promotes biofilm formation in three prototypical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a relevant opportunistic human pathogen. It demonstrates that exposure of planktonic cells to sublethal doses of UVA can increase cell surface hydrophobicity and swimming motility, two parameters known to favor cell adhesion. These results suggest that UVA radiation acts, at least in part, by promoting the first stages of biofilm development.

Abstract
Main group element coordination polymers (MGE-CPs) are important compounds for the development of multifunctional materials. However, there has been a shortage of studies regarding their structural, optical, catalytic, mechanical, and antibacterial properties. This work presents an exhaustive study of a set of crystalline MGE-CPs obtained from bismuth and indium metals and iminodiacetate, 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate, and 2,2'-bipyridine as building blocks. An in-depth topological analysis of the networks was carried out. Additionally, nanoindentation studies were performed on two representative low-dimensional compounds in order to find the relationships between their structural features and their intrinsic mechanical properties (hardness and elasticity). The solid-state photoluminescence (SSPL) properties were also studied in terms of excitation, emission, lifetimes values, and CIE chromaticites. Moreover, the heterogeneous catalytic activities of the compounds were evaluated with the cyanosilylation reaction using a set of carbonylic substrates under solvent-free conditions. Finally, the inhibitory effect of the Bi-CPs on the growth of microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are associated with relevant infectious diseases, is reported.

Abstract
The toxicological effects of Fe3O4 nanoparticles were evaluated with an iron-corroding bacterium (ICB) for preventing the biocorrosion of iron. Fe3O4 nanoparticles of 18 nm were successfully prepared and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). A halophilic ICB strain L4 was isolated from Ribandar saltpan Goa, India and identified biochemically and by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as Halanaerobium sp. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles in increasing doses (0.1-100 mg/L) caused transformation in growth and sulfide production of ICB strain L4. SEM-EDS analysis revealed a deformed cell structure with adsorption of nanoparticle on the cell surface and increased cell size. Comet assay revealed genotoxic effect of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on strain L4 which resulted in dose-dependent DNA damage by increasing percentage tail DNA from 5 to 88% with increasing Fe3O4 nanoparticles concentration. Furthermore, sulfide production rate was reduced to 11.8% in presence of 100 mg/L Fe3O4 nanoparticles which reduced the corroding property of ICB strain L4; thus, it was unable to corrode the iron nail in presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticle. This work suggests the possible application of Fe3O4 nanoparticle in addressing biocorrosion problems faced by different industries.

Abstract
Bacteria attached to solid surfaces and encased in a self-synthesized matrix, so-called biofilms, are highly difficult to eradicate and present negative impact on industry and human health. The ability of supramolecularly templated mesoporous silica coatings to inhibit biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is shown here. Assays employing submerged and air-liquid interface biofilms demonstrated that mesoporous coatings with tuned pore size significantly reduce the number of attached bacteria and matrix production. Given its versatility, scalability, robustness and low cost, our proposal is attractive for the production of transparent, inert and permanent antibiofilm coatings that could be applied on multiple surfaces.

Abstract
A novel approach to measure the contribution of airborne bacteria on corrosion effects of mild steel (MS) and aluminum alloy (AA) as a function of their exposure period, and the atmospheric chemical composition was investigated at an urban industrial coastal site, Singapore. The 16S rRNA and phylogenetic analyses showed that Firmicutes are the predominant bacteria detected in AA and MS samples. The dominant bacterial groups identified were Bacillaceae, Staphylococcaceae, and Paenibacillaceae. The growth and proliferation of these bacteria could be due to the presence of humidity and chemical pollutants in the atmosphere, leading to corrosion. Weight loss showed stronger corrosion resistance of AA (1.37 mg/cm2) than MS (26.13 mg/cm2) over the exposure period of 150 days. The higher corrosion rate could be a result of simultaneous action of pollutants and bacterial exopolysaccharides on the metal surfaces. This study demonstrates the significant involvement of airborne bacteria on atmospheric corrosion of engineering materials.
