Abstract
The minimal inhibitory concentration of an antimicrobial required to inhibit the growth of planktonic populations (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC]) remains the 'gold standard' even though biofilms are acknowledged to be recalcitrant to concentrations that greatly exceed the MIC. As a result, most studies focus on biofilm tolerance to high antimicrobial concentrations, whereas the effect of environmentally relevant sub-MIC on biofilms is neglected. The effect of the MIC and sub-MIC of an isothiazolinone biocide on a microbial community isolated from an industrial cooling system was assessed under static and flow conditions. The differential response of planktonic and sessile populations to these biocide concentrations was discerned by modifying the broth microdilution assay. However, the end-point analysis of biofilms cultivated in static microplates obscured the effect of sub-MIC and MIC on biofilms. A transition from batch to the continuous flow system revealed a more nuanced response of biofilms to these biocide concentrations, where biofilm-derived planktonic cell production was maintained despite an increase in the frequency and extent of biofilm sloughing. A holistic, 'best of both worlds' approach that combines the use of static and continuous flow systems is useful to investigate the potential for the development of persistent biofilms under conditions where exposure to sub-MIC and MIC may occur.

Abstract
Steel is one of the mainly used materials in the oil and gas industry. However, it is susceptible to the marine corrosion, which 20% of the total marine corrosion is caused by microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). The economic and environmental impacts of corrosion are significant, and it is crucial to fight against corrosion in a proper sustainability context and environmental-friendly methods. In this study, the graphene oxide/silver nanostructure (GO-Ag) inhibitory effect on the corrosion of steel in the presence of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) was investigated, via weight loss (WL) and Tafel polarization measurements. Moreover, molecular dynamic (MD) simulations were performed to obtain a deep understanding of the corrosion inhibition effect of GO-Ag. GO-Ag showed a significant antibacterial effect at 80 ppm. Moreover, WL and Tafel polarization measurements illustrated a great inhibition efficiency, which reached up to 84% reduction of WL and 98% reduction of corrosion current density (Icorr) after 7 days of incubation with GO-Ag. Based on MD simulations, bonding energy reached to the larger value in the presence of GO-Ag, which indicated the ability of graphene oxide nanosheets to be adsorbed on the steel surface and prevent the access of corrosive agents to the steel surface. The radial distribution function (RDF) results implied distance between corrosive agent (water and SRB) and steel surface (Fe atoms), which indicated protection of the steel surface due to the effective adsorption of GO nanosheets through the active sites of the steel surface. The mean square displacement (MSD) result showed smaller displacement of the corrosive particles on the surface of steel, resulting that the GO-Ag molecules bonded with Fe molecules on the surface of steel.

Abstract
The present study has successfully identified the nitrate reducing bacteria present in the cooling water system and also investigated the performance of industrially applied biocide and inhibitor on the bacterial inhibition. In order to carry out the objective of this study, facilities and methods such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing, Lowry assay, SEM, EIS, ICP-MS and weight loss analysis were being utilized. In this study, two out of the five morphologically dis- similar colonies identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing, namely the Massilia timonae and the Pseudomonas, were being utilized in the biocorrosion study on copper metal. From the surface analysis using SEM demonstrated the phenomenon of biofilm formation on the copper surface. 2-methylbenzimidazole has the addition of methyl group in the diazole ring position of benzimidazole it has create basicity environment and inhibit the metal deterioration. Meanwhile, it is also deducible from the EIS and protein analysis that com- bination of biocide with either of the inhibitors gives rise to better biocorrosion suppression (0.00178 mpy and 0.00171mpy) as compared to the sole effect of either biocide or inhibitor (0.00219 mpy, 0.00162 and 0.00143). Biocorrosion system biocide with MBM was found to exhibit 65% corrosion inhibition efficiency. Moreover, adoption of 2-Methylbenzimidazole seems to display better performance as compared to Multionic 8151, which is adopted in cooling water system.

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
Microbially catalyzed corrosion of metals is a substantial economic concern. Aerobic microbes primarily enhance Fe0 oxidation through indirect mechanisms and their impact appears to be limited compared to anaerobic microbes. Several anaerobic mechanisms are known to accelerate Fe0 oxidation. Microbes can consume H2 abiotically generated from the oxidation of Fe0. Microbial H2 removal makes continued Fe0 oxidation more thermodynamically favorable. Extracellular hydrogenases further accelerate Fe0 oxidation. Organic electron shuttles such as flavins, phenazines, and possibly humic substances may replace H2 as the electron carrier between Fe0 and cells. Direct Fe0-to-microbe electron transfer is also possible. Which of these anaerobic mechanisms predominates in model pure culture isolates is typically poorly documented because of a lack of functional genetic studies. Microbial mechanisms for Fe0 oxidation may also apply to some other metals. An ultimate goal of microbial metal corrosion research is to develop molecular tools to diagnose the occurrence, mechanisms, and rates of metal corrosion to guide the implementation of the most effective mitigation strategies. A systems biology approach that includes innovative isolation and characterization methods, as well as functional genomic investigations, will be required in order to identify the diagnostic features to be gleaned from meta-omic analysis of corroding materials. A better understanding of microbial metal corrosion mechanisms is expected to lead to new corrosion mitigation strategies. The understanding of the corrosion microbiome is clearly in its infancy, but interdisciplinary electrochemical, microbiological, and molecular tools are available to make rapid progress in this field.

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
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
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 this paper the anti-bacterial and the anti-corrosion effect of two different ionic liquids, namely 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolinium chloride ([OH-EMIm]Cl) and 1-ethyl-3-methyleimidazolinium chloride ([EMIm]Cl) was demonstrated. The results revealed that the corrosion inhibition influence of the ionic liquid [OH-EMIm]Cl is higher than that of the ionic liquid [EMIm]Cl. Furthermore, the ionic liquid [OH-EMIm]Cl showed better biocidal influence compared with the ionic liquid [EMIm]Cl. This indicates the synergistic effect due to the incorporation of the hydroxyl group into the side chain of the imidazolium cation leading to enhanced antibacterial and anticorrosion effect.

Abstract
In the present study, the effects of the corrosive bacterial community and the biofilm on cooling water systems made from mild steel (MS) and brass (BR) were studied under field exposure conditions using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, scanning electron microscope, and X-ray diffraction methods. Results from16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the predominant bacteria species detected in the biofilm of MS and BR metals during 360 days of exposure were Bacillus cereus EN14, Achromobacter xylosoxidans EN15, A. xylosoxidans EN16, and B. cereus EN17. The weight loss results revealed that a higher corrosion rate was observed in MS (0.7 ± 0.1 mm/y) compared with that in BR (0.17 ± 0.05 mm/y) at the end of the exposure period. This can be explained by the bacterial communities enhancing the corrosion rates by creating a local corrosive environment. Scanning electron microscope images revealed the adsorption of biofilm on the MS and BR surfaces following180 days of exposure. From the electrochemical impedance study, a higher charge transfer resistance (R ct) was obtained for BR (119.6 Ω cm2) when compared with that of MS (43.4 Ω cm2). This study explains the role of bacterial communities and their mechanisms in the corrosion of MS and BR in cooling water systems.

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
The present study describes the biocorrosion of mild steel (MS1010) and pure copper (Cu) in cooling water environments (both field and lab study). Electrochemical and surface analyses of both metals were carried out to confirm the corrosion susceptibility in the presence of bacteria and inhibitor. Surface analysis of the MS and Cu coupons revealed that biofilm was developed with increasing exposure time in the field study. In the lab study, accumulation of extracellular polymeric substance over the metal surface was noticed and led to the severe pitting type of corrosion on both metal surfaces. Besides, the anti-corrosive study was carried out using the combinations of commercial corrosion inhibitor (S7653-10 ppm) with biocide (F5100-5 ppm), and the results reveal that the corrosion rate of MS and Cu was highly reduced to 0.0281 and 0.0021 mm/year (inhibitor system) than 0.1589 and 0.0177 mm/year (control system). Inhibition efficiency for both metals in the presence of inhibitor with biocide was found as 82 and 88% for MS and Cu, respectively. The present study concluded that MS was very susceptible to biocorrosion, compared to copper metal in cooling water environment. Further, the combination of the both inhibitor and biocide was effectively inhibiting the biocorrosion which was due to its antibacterial and anti-corrosive properties.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Ten aerobic corrosive bacterial strains were isolated from a cooling tower water system (CWS) which were identified based on the biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Out of them, dominant corrosion-causing bacteria, namely, Bacillus thuringiensis EN2, Terribacillus aidingensis EN3, and Bacillus oleronius EN9, were selected for biocorrosion studies on mild steel 1010 (MS) in a CWS. The biocorrosion behaviour of EN2, EN3, and EN9 strains was studied using immersion test (weight loss method), electrochemical analysis, and surface analysis. To address the corrosion problems, an anti-corrosive study using a biocide, bronopol was also demonstrated. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses of the MS coupons with biofilm developed after exposure to CWS confirmed the accumulation of extracellular polymeric substances and revealed that biofilms was formed as microcolonies, which subsequently cause pitting corrosion. In contrast, the biocide system, no pitting type of corrosion, was observed and weight loss was reduced about 32 ± 2 mg over biotic system (286 ± 2 mg). FTIR results confirmed the adsorption of bronopol on the MS metal surface as protective layer (co-ordination of NH2-Fe3+) to prevent the biofilm formation and inhibit the corrosive chemical compounds and thus led to reduction of corrosion rate (10 ± 1 mm/year). Overall, the results from WL, EIS, SEM, XRD, and FTIR concluded that bronopol was identified as effective biocide and corrosion inhibitor which controls the both chemical and biocorrosion of MS in CWS.

Abstract
The present investigation deals with the role of calcium-depositing bacterial community on corrosion of various engineering metals, namely, brass alloy (BS), copper (Cu), stainless steel (SS) and mild steel (MS). Based on the corrosion behavior, Agrobacterium tumefaciens EN13, an aerobic bacterium is identified as calcium-depositing bacteria on engineering metals. The results of the study are supported with biochemical characterization, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, calcium quantification, weight loss, electrochemical (impedance and polarization) and surface analysis (XRD and FTIR) studies. The calcium quantification study showed carbonate precipitation in abiotic system/biotic system as 50 and 700 ppm, respectively. FTIR results too confirmed the accumulation of calcium deposits from the environment on the metal surface by EN13. Electrochemical studies too supported the corrosion mechanism by showing a significant increase in the charge transfer resistance (Rct) of abiotic system (44, 33.6, 45, 29.6 Ω cm2) than compared to biotic system (41, 10.1 29 and 25 Ω cm2). Hence, the outcome of the present study confirmed the enhanced bioaccumulation behavior of calcium by the strain, EN13.
