Diaz-Mateus MA, Machuca LL, Farhat H, Salgar-Chaparro SJ. Synergistic corrosion effects of magnetite and microorganisms: microbial community dependency. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:253. [PMID: 38441693 PMCID: PMC10914896 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-024-13086-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024]
Abstract
The synergistic corrosion effect of acid-producing bacteria (APB) and magnetite on carbon steel corrosion was assessed using two different microbial consortia. A synergistic corrosion effect was observed exclusively with Consortium 2, which was composed of Enterobacter sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Tepidibacillus sp. When Consortium 2 was accompanied by magnetite, uniform corrosion and pitting rates were one-time higher (0.094 mm/year and 0.777 mm/year, respectively) than the sum of the individual corrosion rates promoted by the consortium and deposit separately (0.084 and 0.648 mm/year, respectively). The synergistic corrosion effect observed exclusively with Consortium 2 is attributed to its microbial community structure. Consortium 2 exhibited higher microbial diversity that benefited the metabolic status of the community. Although both consortia induced acidification of the test solution and metal surface through glucose fermentation, heightened activity levels of Consortium 2, along with increased surface roughness caused by magnetite, contributed to the distinct synergistic corrosion effect observed with Consortium 2 and magnetite. KEY POINTS: • APB and magnetite have a synergistic corrosion effect on carbon steel. • The microbial composition of APB consortia drives the synergistic corrosion effect. • Magnetite increases carbon steel surface roughness.

Bioelectrochemistry 2023; 153:108469.

Abstract
Effect of exogenous riboflavin on sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) corrosion of a spirally welded joint (WJ) of X80 steel was investigated by SEM/EDS, XPS, 3D ultra-depth microscopy and electrochemical measurements. The main style of SRB corrosion of the WJ is local corrosion. The local corrosion sensitivity of the heating affected zone (HAZ) of the WJ was always lower than that of the weld zone (WZ) and base metal (BM) in all the SRB-inoculated mediums. SRB corrosion of the WJ is selective. With the dosage increase of riboflavin, the selective pitting corrosion of the WJ becomes more pronounced.

[PMID: 36764103 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Corrosion of metals in the tidal zone shortens the service life of facilities considerably and causes extensive economic losses each year. However, the contribution of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) to this progress is usually ignored, and consequently the research on the mechanism of MIC in the tidal zone is highly desirable. In this study, the impact of the typical marine strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa on EH40 steel corrosion in the simulated tidal zone was evaluated. P. aeruginosa accelerated the corrosion of EH40 steel in the simulated tidal zone and its corrosion promotion efficiency rose over time. The environmental stress promoted the metabolism, energy production, and secretion of phenazines of P. aeruginosa, which promoted extracellular electron transfer between bacteria and steel, and accelerated MIC. The study proposes a possible mechanism of MIC in the tidal zone at the molecular biological level, which is of theoretical significance for evaluating the corrosion risks of marine equipment.

[PMID: 36306837 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
As a newly identified nitrogen loss pathway, the nitrate-dependent ferrous oxidation (NDFO) process is emerging as a research hotspot in the field of low carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) wastewater treatment. This review article provides an overview of the NDFO process and summarizes the functional microorganisms associated with NDFO from different perspectives. The potential mechanisms by which external factors such as influent pH, influent Fe(II)/N (mol), organic carbon, and chelating agents affect NDFO performance are also thoroughly discussed. As the electron-transfer mechanism of the NDFO process is still largely unknown, the extensive chemical Fe(II)-oxidizing nitrite-reducing pathway (NDFOchem) of the NDFO process is described here, and the potential enzymatic electron transfer mechanisms involved are summarized. On this basis, a three-stage electron transfer pathway applicable to low C/N wastewater is proposed. Furthermore, the impact of Fe(III) mineral products on the NDFO process is revisited, and existing crusting prevention strategies are summarized. Finally, future challenges facing the NDFO process and new research directions are discussed, with the aim of further promoting the development and application of the NDFO process in the field of nitrogen removal.

Direct microbial electron uptake as a mechanism for stainless steel corrosion in aerobic environments. WATER RESEARCH 2022; 219:118553.

Abstract
Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is an attractive model microbe for elucidating the biofilm-metal interactions that contribute to the billions of dollars in corrosion damage to industrial applications each year. Multiple mechanisms for S. oneidensis-enhanced corrosion have been proposed, but none of these mechanisms have previously been rigorously investigated with methods that rule out alternative routes for electron transfer. We found that S. oneidensis grown under aerobic conditions formed thick biofilms (∼50 µm) on stainless steel coupons, accelerating corrosion over sterile controls. H2 and flavins were ruled out as intermediary electron carriers because stainless steel did not reduce riboflavin and previous studies have demonstrated stainless does not generate H2. Strain ∆mtrCBA, in which the genes for the most abundant porin-cytochrome conduit in S. oneidensis were deleted, corroded stainless steel substantially less than wild-type in aerobic cultures. Wild-type biofilms readily reduced nitrate with stainless steel as the sole electron donor under anaerobic conditions, but strain ∆mtrCBA did not. These results demonstrate that S. oneidensis can directly consume electrons from iron-containing metals and illustrate how direct metal-to-microbe electron transfer can be an important route for corrosion, even in aerobic environments.
