Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are potentially hazardous compounds that could cause a severe impact on many ecosystems. They are very challenging to remove using conventional methods due to their hydrophobic nature. However, this issue can be resolved by utilizing surface-active molecules to increase their bioavailability. In this study, pyrene was chosen as the PAH compound to explore its degradability by the effect of individual bacterial strains (Pseudomonas stutzeri NA3 and Acinetobacter baumannii MN3) and mixed consortia (MC) along with natural surfactant derived from Sapindus mukorossi and iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs). Additionally, fatty acids esters, dipeptides, and sugar derivative groups were identified as potent bioactive components of natural surfactants. Various techniques, such as XRD, VSM, TEM, and FE-SEM with EDX, were utilized to characterize the pristine and Fenton-treated iron oxide NPs. The analytical results confirmed that the Fe3O4 crystal phase and spherical-shaped NPs exhibited excellent magnetic properties. The impact of natural surfactants and iron oxide NPs has significantly contributed to the biodegradation process, resulting in a prominent decrease in chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis showed that biodegradation systems produced primary hydrocarbon intermediates, which underwent oxidative degradation through Fenton treatment. Interestingly, synthesized iron oxide NPs effectively produced hydroxyl radical (•OH) during the Fenton reaction, which was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, and the pristine iron oxide NPs underwent a material transformation observed. The study demonstrated an integrated approach for biodegradation and the Fenton reaction process to enhance the pyrene degradation efficiency (90%) compared to other systems. Using natural surfactants and iron oxide NPs in aquatic environments serves as a crucial platform at the interface of microorganisms and contaminated oil products. This interaction offers a promising solution for PAHs bioremediation.

ACS PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY AU 2024; 4:67-84. [PMID: 38283783 PMCID: PMC10811774 DOI: 10.1021/acsphyschemau.3c00055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
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
Biosurfactants are surface active molecules generated by various microorganisms, including bacteria, actinobacteria, algae, and fungi. In this study, bacterial strains are isolated from soil contaminated with used motor oil and examined for potential biosurfactant production. A minimum salt medium (MSM), with crude oil as the only carbon source, is used to isolate potential biosurfactant-producing bacterial strains. About 23 strains are isolated, and all are subjected to the primary screening methods for biosurfactant production. Based on the emulsification index, oil displacement, and drop collapse screening methods, two isolates with potential biosurfactant-producing ability are selected for further studies. The synthesis of biosurfactants, crude oil and anthracene biodegradation is carried out with strains DTS1 and DTS2. Both strains show significant outcomes in crude oil degradation. In addition, both strains can utilize anthracene as the sole carbon source. During the degradation course, changes in the growth conditions are continuously monitored by measuring turbidity and pH. In this degradation study, the biosurfactant production aptitude of the isolated strains plays an essential role in increasing the bioavailability of hydrophobic hydrocarbons. These strains are identified down to the molecular level by employing 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and the acquired sequences are submitted to get the accession numbers. These prospective strains can be utilized to remediate hydrocarbon-contaminated environments.

Abstract
The use of different types of chemicals in upstream oilfield operations is critical for optimizing the different operations involved in hydrocarbon exploration and production. Surfactants are a type chemical that are applied in various upstream operations, such as drilling, fracturing, and enhanced oil recovery. However, due to their nonbiodegradability and toxicity, the use of synthetic surfactants has raised environmental concerns. Natural surfactants have emerged because of the hunt for sustainable and environmentally suitable substitutes. This Review discusses the role of natural surfactants in upstream operations as well as their benefits and drawbacks. The Review discusses the basic characteristics of surfactants, their classification, and the variables that affect their performance. Finally, the Review examines the possible applications of natural surfactants in the upstream oil sector and identifies areas that require further research.

Recent advances and discoveries of microbial-based glycolipids: Prospective alternative for remediation activities. Biotechnol Adv 2023; 68:108198. [PMID: 37330152 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Surfactants have always been a prominent chemical that is useful in various sectors (e.g., cleaning agent production industry, textile industry and painting industry). This is due to the special ability of surfactants to reduce surface tension between two fluid surfaces (e.g., water and oil). However, the current society has long omitted the harmful effects of petroleum-based surfactants (e.g., health issues towards humans and reducing cleaning ability of water bodies) due to their usefulness in reducing surface tension. These harmful effects will significantly damage the environment and negatively affect human health. As such, there is an urgency to secure environmentally friendly alternatives such as glycolipids to reduce the effects of these synthetic surfactants. Glycolipids is a biomolecule that shares similar properties with surfactants that are naturally synthesized in the cell of living organisms, glycolipids are amphiphilic in nature and can form micelles when glycolipid molecules clump together, reducing surface tension between two surfaces as how a surfactant molecule is able to achieve. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive study on the recent advances in bacteria cultivation for glycolipids production and current lab scale applications of glycolipids (e.g., medical and waste bioremediation). Studies have proven that glycolipids are effective anti-microbial agents, subsequently leading to an excellent anti-biofilm forming agent. Heavy metal and hydrocarbon contaminated soil can also be bioremediated via the use of glycolipids. The major hurdle in the commercialization of glycolipid production is that the cultivation stage and downstream extraction stage of the glycolipid production process induces a very high operating cost. This review provides several solutions to overcome this issue for glycolipid production for the commercialization of glycolipids (e.g., developing new cultivating and extraction techniques, using waste as cultivation medium for microbes and identifying new strains for glycolipid production). The contribution of this review aims to serve as a future guideline for researchers that are dealing with glycolipid biosurfactants by providing an in-depth review on the recent advances of glycolipid biosurfactants. By summarizing the points discussed as above, it is recommended that glycolipids can substitute synthetic surfactants as an environmentally friendly alternative.

Abstract
Biofilms are bacterial communities embedded in exopolymeric substances that form on the surfaces of both man-made and natural structures. Biofilm formation in industrial water systems such as cooling towers results in biofouling and biocorrosion and poses a major health concern as well as an economic burden. Traditionally, biofilms in industrial water systems are treated with alternating doses of oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides, but as resistance increases, higher biocide concentrations are needed. Using chemically synthesized surfactants in combination with biocides is also not a new idea; however, these surfactants are often not biodegradable and lead to accumulation in natural water reservoirs. Biosurfactants have become an essential bioeconomy product for diverse applications; however, reports of their use in combating biofilm-related problems in water management systems is limited to only a few studies. Biosurfactants are powerful anti-biofilm agents and can act as biocides as well as biodispersants. In laboratory settings, the efficacy of biosurfactants as anti-biofilm agents can range between 26% and 99.8%. For example, long-chain rhamnolipids isolated from Burkholderia thailandensis inhibit biofilm formation between 50% and 90%, while a lipopeptide biosurfactant from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was able to inhibit biofilms up to 96% and 99%. Additionally, biosurfactants can disperse preformed biofilms up to 95.9%. The efficacy of antibiotics can also be increased by between 25% and 50% when combined with biosurfactants, as seen for the V9T14 biosurfactant co-formulated with ampicillin, cefazolin, and tobramycin. In this review, we discuss how biofilms are formed and if biosurfactants, as anti-biofilm agents, have a future in industrial water systems. We then summarize the reported mode of action for biosurfactant molecules and their functionality as biofilm dispersal agents. Finally, we highlight the application of biosurfactants in industrial water systems as anti-fouling and anti-corrosion agents.

Abstract
Introduction Ointments are generally used as a therapeutic agent for topical medication or transdermal drug delivery, such as wound healing and skin lesions. Methods In this study, Tridax procumbens plant extract (0.7 g/mL) was used to prepare herbal-infused oil as the oil phase and gelatin-stabilized silver nanoparticle (G-AgNPs) (0.3 g/mL) as the aqueous phase. To blend the oil and aqueous phases, rhamnolipid biosurfactant with a critical micelle concentration of 55 mg/L from strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa PP4 has been used for herb ointment preparation. The average size of the synthesized G-AgNPs was observed between 10-30 nm and confirmed as spherical-shaped particles by TEM analysis. Subsequently, GC-MS and FTIR characterization are used to confirm herb ointment's chemical and functional characteristics. Results Based on the antibacterial studies, the highest microbial growth inhibition was observed for herb ointment, about 19.5 mm for the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus at the concentration of 100 μg/mL, whereas 15.5 mm was obtained for Escherichia coli, respectively. In addition, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay showed negligible bacterial growth at 100 μg/mL for S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. Moreover, the cell viability assay for herb ointment exhibited low cytotoxic activity at higher concentrations (100 μg/mL) in Vero cell lines. In this study, wound scratch assay showed a significant cell migration rate (90 ± 2%) in 3 days of incubation than the control (62 ± 2%). Discussion As a result, the biosurfactant-based nano-topical herb ointment revealed a low cytotoxic and higher cell migration capacity. Altogether, these findings highlighted the utility of this herb ointment in therapeutic applications such as wound healing.

Abstract
Corrosion is the process of damaging materials, and corrosion of metallic materials frequently results in serious consequences. The addition of corrosion inhibitors is the most effective means of preventing metal corrosion. Until now, researchers have made unremitting efforts in the research of high-efficiency green corrosion inhibitors, and research on biomass corrosion inhibitors in a class of environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors is currently quite promising. This work presents the classification of green biomass corrosion inhibitors in detail, including plant-based corrosion inhibitors, amino acid corrosion inhibitors, and biosurfactant corrosion inhibitors, based on the advantages of easy preparation, environmental friendliness, high corrosion inhibition efficiency, and a wide application range of biomass corrosion inhibitors. This work also introduces the preparation methods of biomass corrosion inhibitors, including hydrolysis, enzymatic digestion, the heating reflux method, and microwave extraction. In addition, the corrosion inhibition mechanisms of green biomass corrosion inhibitors, including physical adsorption, chemisorption, and film-forming adsorption, and evaluation methods of biomass corrosion inhibitors are also explicitly described. This study provides valuable insights into the development of green corrosion inhibitors.

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
Oil spillage is one of the most common pollutants which brings greater economic loss and damage to the environment. The intensity and amount of the damage may vary depending on factors such as the type of oil, the location of the spill, and the climatic parameters in the area. As for any pollution management, the guidelines are Reduce, Re-use, Recover and Disposal. Amongst the other remediation processes, Bioremediation is amongst the most significant environmentally friendly and cost-effective approaches for marine biological restoration because it allows complex petroleum hydrocarbons in spilt oil to decompose completely into harmless compounds. Mainly, the necessity and essence of bioremediation were talked about. This review discussed the bacteria identified which are capable of degrading various oil related pollutants and their components. Also, it covered the various media components used for screening and growing the oil degrading bacteria and the pathways that are associated with oil degradation. This article also reviewed the recent research carried out related to the oil degrading bacteria.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 306:119384. [PMID: 35504349 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hazardous toxic contaminants and considered as primary pollutants due to their persistent nature and most of them are carcinogenic and mutagenic. The key challenge in PAHs degradation is their hydrophobic nature, which makes them one of the most complex materials and inaccessible by a broad range of microorganisms. This bioavailability can be increased by using a biosurfactant. In the present study mixed PAHs were degraded using the biosurfactant producing bacterial strains. In addition, iron nanoparticles were synthesized and the impact of iron nanoparticles on the growth of the mixed bacterial strains (Pseudomonas stutzeri NA3 and Acinetobacter baumannii MN3) was optimized. The mixed PAHs (anthracene, pyrene, and benzo(a)pyrene) degradation was enhanced by addition of biosurfactant (produced by Bacillus subtilis A1) and iron nanoparticles, resulting in 85% of degradation efficiency. The addition of the biosurfactant increased the bioavailability of the PAHs in the aqueous environment, which might help bacterial cells for the initial settlement and development. The addition of iron nanoparticles increased both bacterial biomass and PAHs adsorption over their surface. These overall interactions assisted in the utilization of PAHs by the mixed bacterial consortia. This study illustrates that this integrated approach can be elaborated for the removal of the complex PAHs pollutants from soil and aqueous environments.

Abstract
Extreme conditions and the availability of determinate substrates in oil fields promote the growth of a specific microbiome. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and acid-producing bacteria (APB) are usually found in these places and can harm important processes due to increases in corrosion rates, biofouling and reservoir biosouring. Biocides such as glutaraldehyde, dibromo-nitrilopropionamide (DBNPA), tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulfate (THPS) and alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (ADBAC) are commonly used in oil fields to mitigate uncontrolled microbial growth. The aim of this work was to evaluate the differences among microbiome compositions and their resistance to standard biocides in four different Brazilian produced water samples, two from a Southeast Brazil offshore oil field and two from different Northeast Brazil onshore oil fields. Microbiome evaluations were carried out through 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. To evaluate the biocidal resistance, the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the standard biocides were analyzed using enriched consortia of SRB and APB from the produced water samples. The data showed important differences in terms of taxonomy but similar functional characterization, indicating the high diversity of the microbiomes. The APB and SRB consortia demonstrated varying resistance levels against the biocides. These results will help to customize biocidal treatments in oil fields.

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.

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
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
Microbial surfactants are a large number of amphipathic biomolecules with a myriad of biomolecule constituents from various microbial sources that have been studied for their surface tension reduction activities. With unique properties, their applications have been increased in different areas including environment, medicine, healthcare, agriculture and industries. The present review aims to study the biochemistry and biosynthesis of biosurfactants exhibiting varying biomolecular structures which are produced by different microbial sources. It also provides details on roles played by biosurfactants in nature as well as their potential applications in various sectors. Basic biomolecule content of all the biosurfactants studied showed presence of carbohydrates, aminoacids, lipids and fattyacids. The data presented here would help in designing, synthesis and application of tailor-made novel biosurfactants. This would pave a way for perspectives of research on biosurfactants to overcome the existing bottlenecks in this field.

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.

[PMID: 33092887 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2020] [Revised: 09/04/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
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
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
Biocontamination of medical devices and implants is a growing issue that causes medical complications and increased expenses. In the fight against biocontamination, developing synthetic surfaces, which reduce the adhesion of microbes and provide biocidal activity or combinatory effects, has emerged as a major global strategy. Advances in nanotechnology and biological sciences have made it possible to design smart surfaces for decreasing infections. Nevertheless, the clinical performance of these surfaces is highly depending on the choice of material. This review focuses on the antimicrobial surfaces with functional material coatings, such as cationic polymers, metal coatings and antifouling micro-/nanostructures. One of the highlights of the review is providing insights into the virus-inactivating surface development, which might particularly be useful for controlling the currently confronted pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The nanotechnology-based strategies presented here might be beneficial to produce materials that reduce or prevent the transmission of airborne viral droplets, once applied to biomedical devices and protective equipment of medical workers. Overall, this review compiles existing studies in this broad field by focusing on the recent related developments, draws attention to the possible activity mechanisms, discusses the key challenges and provides future recommendations for developing new, efficient antimicrobial and antiviral surface coatings.

Antibiofilm effect of mono-rhamnolipids and di-rhamnolipids on carbon steel submitted to oil produced water. Biotechnol Prog 2021; 37:e3131. [PMID: 33511791 DOI: 10.1002/btpr.3131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 12/27/2020] [Accepted: 01/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the potential of mono-rhamnolipids (mono-RML) and di-rhamnolipids (di-RML) against biofilm formation on carbon steel coupons submitted to oil produced water for 14 days. The antibiofilm effect of the RML on the coupons was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and by epifluorescence microscopy, and the contact angle was measured using a goniometer. SEM analysis results showed that all RML congeners had effective antibiofilm action, as well as preliminary anticorrosion evaluation confirmed that all RML congeners prevented the metal deterioration. In more detail, epifluorescence microscopy showed that mono-RML were the most efficient congeners in preventing microorganism's adherence on the carbon steel metal. Image analyses indicate the presence of 15.9%, 3.4%, and <0.1% of viable particles in di-RML, mono/di-RML and mono-RML pretreatments, respectively, in comparison to control samples. Contact angle results showed that the crude carbon steel coupon presented hydrophobic character favoring hydrophobic molecules adhesion. We calculated the theoretical polarity of the RML congeners and verified that mono-RML (log P = 3.63) presented the most hydrophobic character. This had perfect correspondence to contact angle results, since mono-RML conditioning (58.2°) more significantly changed the contact angle compared with the conditioning with one of the most common surfactants used on oil industry (29.4°). Based on the results, it was concluded that rhamnolipids are efficient molecules to be used to avoid biofilm on carbon steel metal when submitted to oil produced water and that a higher proportion of mono-rhamnolipids is more indicated for this application.

Abstract
In the present study, a copper nanoparticle (Cu NPs) was synthesized by a green synthesis method with Cardiospermum halicacabum leaf extract. The surface area of Cu NPs was measured with dynamic light scattering (DLS). UV-Vis spectrum clearly illustrates the typical absorption peak of Cu NPs. The crystalline property of Cu NPs was confirmed from the XRD pattern. TEM analysis clearly indicates the average particle size of synthesized Cu NPs was in the range of 30-40 nm with hexagonal shape. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy confirms the major strong peaks of Cu NPs. FTIR analysis confirms the existence of various functional biomolecules over the metal nanoparticles and they are playing an important role in the formation of Cu NPs. The antibacterial and anti-biofilm analyses were carried out to confirm their aptitude for biomedical applications. Interestingly, Cu NPs control the development of biofilm by attaching over the cell wall and disturb their growth and development.

Abstract
Considering that bacterial biosurfactants (BSFs) are released as secondary metabolites involved in biotic relations within mixed bacterial assemblages, the hypothesis that the co-cultivation of BSF producing bacteria with biofilm-forming strains would enhance BSF synthesis was tested. Environmental BSF producing strains of Bacillus licheniformis and Pseudomonas sp. were cultivated with reference biofilm-forming strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Listeria innocua). BSF production and quorum-quenching effects were tested in solid media. Tensioactive and anionic BSFs were also quantified in cell-free extracts (CFEs). BSF production increased in co-cultures with inducer strains although this was not demonstrated by all screening methods. Increased concentrations of anionic BSF were detected in CFEs of co-cultures in which Pseudomonas aeruginosa was included as inducer, which is in accordance with the observation of larger halos in cetyl trimethylammonium bromide-methylene blue agar. The results demonstrate that co-cultivation positively affects the efficiency of BSF production and that higher production yields may be attained by selecting convenient inducer partners in designed consortia. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The high production cost of biosurfactants (BSFs) still represents a major limitation to the industrial use of these otherwise advantageous alternatives to chemical surfactants. This work demonstrates that the co-cultivation of consortia of biosurfactant-producer and biofilm-forming bacteria enhances BSF production and may contribute to the cost-effectiveness of biosurfactant-based products.

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.
