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 …

The involvement of Shewanella spp. in biocorrosion is often attributed to their Fe (III)-
reducing properties, but they could also affect corrosion by using metallic iron as an electron …

Microbiologically influenced corrosion of metals is prevalent in both natural and industrial
environments, causing enormous structural damage and economic loss. Exactly how …

Microbial corrosion of iron-based materials is a substantial economic problem. A
mechanistic understanding is required to develop mitigation strategies, but previous …

The concept that anaerobic microorganisms can directly accept electrons from Fe (0) has
been controversial because direct metal-microbe electron transfer has previously only been …

Electron transfer is a rate-limiting step in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC)
caused by microbes that utilize extracellular electrons. Cross-cell wall electron transfer is …

Bacteria able to transfer electrons to metals are key agents in biogeochemical metal cycling,
subsurface bioremediation, and corrosion processes. More recently, these bacteria have …

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) is a microbial metabolism that enables efficient electron
transfer between microbial cells and extracellular solid materials. Microorganisms …

In the microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) caused by sulfate reducing bacteria
(SRB), iron oxidation happens outside sessile cells while the utilization of the electrons …

Carbon steels are widely used in the oil and gas industry from downhole tubing to transport
trunk lines. Microbes form biofilms, some of which cause the so-called microbiologically …
