TL;DR: A brief review of the mechanisms of MIC provides a state of the art insight into MIC mechanisms and it helps the diagnosis and prediction of occurrences of MIC under anaerobic conditions in the oil and gas industry.

TL;DR: In this article, a chemical conversion coating with high corrosion resistance (CR) and low electrical contact resistance (ECR) on AZ91D Mg alloy was presented, which is attributed to the unique microstructure of conversion coating, i.e., β phase protruded from the surface and covered by a thinner passive film about 30 nm, contributing to low ECR, meanwhile, a thicker coating of 200-300 nm without cracks was deposited on α-phase, providing a good corrosion resistance.

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanism for microbial corrosion of stainless steel, the metal of choice for many actual applications, can be significantly different from that for Fe(0), although H2 is often an intermediary electron carrier between the metal and microbes during Fe( 0) corrosion, making this corrosion mechanism unlikely.

TL;DR: Electrochemical corrosion data in this work demonstrated that the corrosion rate decreased considerably after knocking out phzH and it largely recovered after phZH was restored, thus confirming at the genetic level that EET is a bottleneck in the MIC by P. aeruginosa.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of interdiffusion zone (IDZ) and secondary reaction zone (SRZ) with a high density of fine topological closed-packed phases (TCPs), weakening dramatically the mechanical properties of the alloy substrate.
