Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC), is acknowledged to be the direct cause of
catastrophic corrosion failures, with associated damage costs ranging to many billions of US …

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is one of the critical integrity threats in marine
and offshore industrial sectors. Thus, MIC should be considered for effective risk-based …

With a rising population, the demand for energy has increased over the years. As per the
projections, both fossil fuel and renewables will remain as major energy source (678 …

Metal corrosion is a major global concern in many economic sectors. The degradation of
metal surfaces is responsible for losses in values that account for about 3% of gross …

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) have been studied extensively in the petroleum industry
due to their role in corrosion, but very little is known about sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) …

Biofilms can be pervasive and problematic in water treatment and distribution systems but
are difficult to eradicate due to hindered penetration of antimicrobial chemicals. Here, we …

Some steel water injection pipelines used to increase the yield from oil production reservoirs
in the offshore oil industry have experienced severe channelling corrosion at the 6 o′ clock …

Degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons (HC) in sediments is often limited by the availability
of electron acceptors. By allowing long-distance electron transport (LDET) between anoxic …

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 …

In this study we characterized and sequenced the genome of Arcobacter anaerophilus strain
IR-1 isolated from enrichment cultures used in nitrate-amended corrosion experiments. A …
