A wide diversity of microorganisms, typically growing as biofilms, has been implicated in
corrosion, a multi-trillion dollar a year problem. Aerobic microorganisms establish conditions …

The global economic burden of microbial corrosion of metals is enormous. Microbial
corrosion of iron‐containing metals is most extensive under anaerobic conditions. Microbes …

Microbially catalyzed corrosion of metals is a substantial economic concern. Aerobic
microbes primarily enhance Fe 0 oxidation through indirect mechanisms and their impact …

The chapter demonstrates that biofilms can influence the corrosion of metals (1) by
consuming oxygen, the cathodic reactant;(2) by increasing the mass transport of the …

Corrosion occurs due to chemical or electrochemical reactions between the environment
and metal. It can cause dangerous and expensive damage to a wide range of industries …

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a phenomenon of increasing concern that
affects various materials and sectors of society. MIC describes the effects, often negative …

Corrosion is the result of a series of chemical, physical and (micro) biological processes
leading to the deterioration of materials such as steel and stone. It is a world-wide problem …

Identification of any mechanism for microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) requires an
understanding of the specificity of metal/microbe/electrolyte interactions. Recent …

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a complex type of environmentally assisted
corrosion. Although poorly understood and challenging to ameliorate, it is increasingly …

In aquatic environments, microorganisms attach to metals and colonise the surface to form
biofilms producing an environment at the biofilm/metal interface that is radically different …
