Corrosion of Iron by Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria: New Views of an Old Problem
D. Enning,Julia Garrelfs +1 more
TL;DR: This brief review traces the historical twists in the perception of SRB-induced corrosion, considering the presently most plausible explanations as well as possible early misconceptions in the understanding of severe corrosion in anoxic, sulfate-rich environments.

Microbiologically influenced corrosion: looking to the future
Hector A. Videla,L.K. Herrera +1 more
TL;DR: The key concepts needed to understand the main effects of microorganisms on metal decay, and current trends in monitoring and control strategies to mitigate the deleterious effects of biocorrosion and biofouling are described.

Biofouling and biocorrosion in industrial water systems
S. E. Coetser,Thomas E. Cloete +1 more
TL;DR: Traditional water treatment strategies however, have largely failed to address those factors that promote biofouling activities and lead to biocorrosion.

Accelerated cathodic reaction in microbial corrosion of iron due to direct electron uptake by sulfate-reducing bacteria
H. Venzlaff,D. Enning,Jayendran Srinivasan,Karl Johann Jakob Mayrhofer,Achim Walter Hassel,Friedrich Widdel,Martin Stratmann +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted potentiodynamic measurements with iron electrodes colonized by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and found that the colonizing bacteria significantly reduced current stimulation, thus confirming biological catalysis rather than an abiotic cathodic effect of FeS.

Role of sulfate‐reducing bacteria in corrosion of mild steel: A review
TL;DR: The influence of sulfate reducing bacteria on corrosion of mild steel is reviewed, with special emphasis on the effects of biofilm structure and function, medium composition (dissolved oxygen and ferrous ion concentrations) and the physical and chemical properties of iron sulfides.
