Abstract
Deterioration corrosion occurs between the external surface of oil pipelines and aerobic oil-degrading microorganisms in oil fields. Microorganisms with aerobic oil pollution remediation capabilities may catalyze more serious anaerobic microbial corrosion due to the carbon source supply. In this study, Acinetobacter soli strains were isolated from oil-contaminated environments, and their role in the deterioration corrosion behavior of X70 steel in an oil-water environment was investigated using the EDS multipoint scanning method. The presence of oil controls the deposition of carbon and phosphorus and diffusion of oxygen, leading to significant adhesion attraction and initial growth inhibition of biofilm on the metal surface. A. soli facilitates oxygen transfer and iron ion dissolution, thereby accelerating the pitting corrosion of X70 steel. This corrosion of the X70 steel, in turn, further accelerates the microbial degradation of oil, inhibiting the appearance of calcareous scale in the later stage of corrosion. The corrosion of X70 steel is influenced by microbial degradation, and the specific corrosion behaviors are related to the activity of A. soli in the petroleum environment. This study sheds light on the corrosion mechanisms of X70 steel by A. soli at different stages, providing insights into the interactions between microorganisms, oil pollution, and metal corrosion in oil fields.

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

Abstract
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) often exist as cell aggregates and in biofilms surrounded by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). The chemical composition of EPSs may facilitate hydrophobic substrate biodegradation and promote microbial influenced corrosion (MIC). Although EPSs from non-hydrocarbon-degrading SRB have been studied; the chemical composition of EPSs from hydrocarbon-degrading SRBs has not been reported. The isolated EPSs from the sulfate-reducing alkane-degrading bacterium Desulfoglaeba alkanexedens ALDC was characterized with scanning and fluorescent microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and by colorimetric chemical assays. Specific fluorescent staining and 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed that the fundamental chemical structure of the EPS produced by D. alkanexedens is composed of pyranose polysaccharide and cyclopentanone in a 2:1 ratio. NMR analyses indicated that the pyranose ring structure is bonded by 1,4 connections with the cyclopentanone directly bonded to one pyranose ring. The presence of cyclopentanone presumably increases the hydrophobicity of the EPS that may facilitate the accessibility of hydrocarbon substrates to aggregating cells or cells in a biofilm. Weight loss and iron dissolution experiments demonstrated that the EPS did not contribute to the corrosivity of D. alkanexedens cells.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Community compositional changes and the corrosion of carbon steel in the presence of different electron donor and acceptor combinations were examined with a methanogenic consortium enriched for its ability to mineralize paraffins. Despite cultivation in the absence of sulfate, metagenomic analysis revealed the persistence of several sulfate-reducing bacterial taxa. Upon sulfate amendment, the consortium was able to couple C28H58 biodegradation with sulfate reduction. Comparative analysis suggested that Desulforhabdus and/or Desulfovibrio likely supplanted methanogens as syntrophic partners needed for C28H58 mineralization. Further enrichment in the absence of a paraffin revealed that the consortium could also utilize carbon steel as a source of electrons. The severity of both general and localized corrosion increased in the presence of sulfate, regardless of the electron donor utilized. With carbon steel as an electron donor, Desulfobulbus dominated in the consortium and electrons from iron accounted for ∼92% of that required for sulfate reduction. An isolated Desulfovibrio spp. was able to extract electrons from iron and accelerate corrosion. Thus, hydrogenotrophic partner microorganisms required for syntrophic paraffin metabolism can be readily substituted depending on the availability of an external electron acceptor and a single paraffin-degrading consortium harbored microbes capable of both chemical and electrical microbially influenced iron corrosion.

Abstract
Buried petroleum pipeline corrosion and leaks cause inevitable changes in the microbial communities of the surrounding soils. In addition, soils with different microbial communities can make different contributions to buried pipeline corrosion. Three kinds of soil samples of buried petroleum pipelines under different corrosion and petroleum contamination conditions were collected from the Shengli Oilfield of China to investigate the mutual influence between corrosion and the microbial communities of the surrounding soil. The 16S rRNA gene high-throughput Illumina MiSeq sequencing was used to analyze the microbial communities of different surrounding soils. Electrochemical tests were performed for steel corrosion investigation. The results showed that the microbial diversity of the surrounding soils of corroded pipelines with/without petroleum contamination (O-soil and C-soil, respectively) decreased significantly as compared with that of the non-corroded and non-contaminated ones (NC-soil). The C-soil contained more abundant Balneolaceae (Balneola, KSA1), Flavobacteriaceae (Muricauda, Gramella) and Desulfuromonadaceae (Pelobacter, Geoalkalibacter). The O-soil possessed a greater abundance of Halomonas, Pseudoalteromonas, Psychrobacter and Dietzia, which were reported to have a capacity for hydrocarbon degradation. Moreover, electrochemical measurements indicated that the microcosm of the C-soil and NC-soil promoted steel corrosion, while the C-soil community showed a slightly higher corrosion rate. However, the O-soil community mitigated the steel corrosion. These observations suggested that pipeline corrosion increased proportions of microorganisms, which are likely related to fermentation, sulfur respiration, iron respiration and manganese respiration in surrounding soils and enhanced the soil corrosivity, while petroleum contamination weakened the corrosion ability and promoted the growth of hydrocarbon-degrading organisms in the microbial community.

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
Fuel biodegradation linked to sulfate reduction can lead to corrosion of the metallic infrastructure in a variety of marine environments. However, the biological stability of emerging biofuels and their potential impact on copper-nickel alloys commonly used in marine systems has not been well documented. Two potential naval biofuels (Camelina-JP5 and Fisher-Tropsch-F76) and their petroleum-derived counterparts (JP5 and F76) were critically assessed in seawater/sediment incubations containing a metal coupon (70/30 Cu-Ni alloy). Relative to a fuel-unamended control (1.2 ± 0.4 μM/d), Camelina-JP5 (86.4 ± 1.6 μM/d) and JP5 (77.6 ± 8.3 μM/d) stimulated much higher rates of sulfate reduction than either FT-F76 (11.4 ± 2.7 μM/d) or F76 (38.4 ± 3.7 μM/d). The general corrosion rate (r2 = 0.91) and pitting corrosion (r2 = 0.92) correlated with sulfate loss in these incubations. Despite differences in microbial community structure on the metal or in the aqueous or sediment phases, sulfate reducing bacteria affiliated with Desulfarculaceae and Desulfobacteraceae became predominant upon fuel amendment. The identification of alkylsuccinates and alkylbenzylsuccinates attested to anaerobic metabolism of fuel hydrocarbons. Sequences related to Desulfobulbaceae were highly enriched (34.2-64.8%) on the Cu-Ni metal surface, regardless of whether the incubation received a fuel amendment. These results demonstrate that the anaerobic metabolism of biofuel linked to sulfate reduction can exacerbate the corrosion of Cu-Ni alloys. Given the relative lability of Camelina-JP5, particular precaution should be taken when incorporating this hydroprocessed biofuel into marine environments serviced by a Cu-Ni metallic infrastructure.

Abstract
Oil reservoir production systems are usually associated with a temperature gradient and oil production facilities frequently suffer from pipeline corrosion failures. Both bacteria and archaea potentially contribute to biocorrosion of the oil production equipment. Here the response of microbial populations from the petroleum reservoir to temperature gradient and corrosion of carbon steel coupons were investigated under laboratory condition. Carbon steel coupons were exposed to production water from a depth of 1809 m of Jiangsu petroleum reservoir (China) and incubated for periods of 160 and 300 days. The incubation temperatures were set at 37, 55, and 65°C to monitoring mesophilic, thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microorganisms associated with anaerobic carbon steel corrosion. The results showed that corrosion rate at 55°C (0.162 ± 0.013 mm year-1) and 37°C (0.138 ± 0.008 mm year-1) were higher than that at 65°C (0.105 ± 0.007 mm year-1), and a dense biofilm was observed on the surface of coupons under all biotic incubations. The microbial community analysis suggests a high frequency of bacterial taxa associated with families Porphyromonadaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, and Spirochaetaceae at all three temperatures. While the majority of known sulfate-reducing bacteria, in particular Desulfotignum, Desulfobulbus and Desulfovibrio spp., were predominantly observed at 37°C; Desulfotomaculum spp., Thermotoga spp. and Thermanaeromonas spp. as well as archaeal members closely related to Thermococcus and Archaeoglobus spp. were substantially enriched at 65°C. Hydrogenotrophic methanogens of the family Methanobacteriaceae were dominant at both 37 and 55°C; acetoclastic Methanosaeta spp. and methyltrophic Methanolobus spp. were enriched at 37°C. These observations show that temperature changes significantly alter the microbial community structure in production fluids and also affected the biocorrosion of carbon steel under anaerobic conditions.

Abstract
Deep subsurface petroleum reservoir ecosystems harbor a high diversity of microorganisms, and microbial influenced corrosion is a major problem for the petroleum industry. Here, we used high-throughput sequencing to explore the microbial communities based on genomic 16S rDNA and metabolically active 16S rRNA analyses of production water samples with different extents of corrosion from a high-temperature oil reservoir. Results showed that Desulfotignum and Roseovarius were the most abundant genera in both genomic and active bacterial communities of all the samples. Both genomic and active archaeal communities were mainly composed of Archaeoglobus and Methanolobus. Within both bacteria and archaea, the active and genomic communities were compositionally distinct from one another across the different oil wells (bacteria p = 0.002; archaea p = 0.01). In addition, the sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRMs) were specifically assessed by Sanger sequencing of functional genes aprA and dsrA encoding the enzymes adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate reductase and dissimilatory sulfite reductase, respectively. Functional gene analysis indicated that potentially active Archaeoglobus, Desulfotignum, Desulfovibrio, and Thermodesulforhabdus were frequently detected, with Archaeoglobus as the most abundant and active sulfate-reducing group. Canonical correspondence analysis revealed that the SRM communities in petroleum reservoir system were closely related to pH of the production water and sulfate concentration. This study highlights the importance of distinguishing the metabolically active microorganisms from the genomic community and extends our knowledge on the active SRM communities in corrosive petroleum reservoirs.
