The investigation showed the potential and magnitude for microbial corrosive effects on iron in marine environments. Aerobic and anaerobic corrosion cells can be developed by a wide variety of microorganisms. Aerobic corrosion is developed through metabolic oxygen consumption by bacteria on localized iron surfaces where organic food is present. Alternating bands of aerobic-anaerobic zones are formed in sediments by layering effects of deposition involving different amounts of organic materials. The layering does produce oxygen differential cells that are very corrosive. Anaerobic corrosion cells are produced by depolarization of the iron due to proton or hydrogen uptake. The activity is proportional to hydrogenase activity or to the presence of hydrogen acceptors in the area. Suitable tests involving weight loss of iron test coupons can be employed to show the corrosive nature of microorganisms in the environment.

Understanding of microbial corrosion mechanism is one of primary tools to get better result in corrosion inhibition. Bacterial consortia cause more adverse conditions than that caused by axenic cultures leading to severe localized attack under biofilm and subsequently accelerate metal failure. The quorum sensing signals (AHL) was detected in the axenic, binary and consortia of MIC bacterial cultures. The present results have demonstrated, for the first time that quorum sensing signals are involved in coordination language of MIC during biofilm and corrosion process. Therefore, detection of these signals can be used as a biochemical indicator(s) for the presence of bacterial community (biofilm development). Screening for quorum sensing signals is cheap, rapid and easy method for early detection of MIC. Agricultural waste extracts represent a valuable source of eco-friendly green (biocide) antimicrobials. The methanolic and aqueous extracts of Onion and Garlic leaves and Date palm seeds had the ability to inhibit the growth of P. marginalis-SuOA (the most potent biofilm forming isolate) at lower concentrations compared with traditional chemical biocides.

Microorganisms are ubiquitously present in petroleum reservoirs and the facilities that produce them. Pipelines, vessels, and other equipment used in upstream oil and gas operations provide a vast and predominantly anoxic environment for microorganisms to thrive. The biggest technical challenge resulting from microbial activity in these engineered environments is the impact on materials integrity. Oilfield microorganisms can affect materials integrity profoundly through a multitude of elusive (bio)chemical mechanisms, collectively referred to as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). MIC is estimated to account for 20 to 30% of all corrosion-related costs in the oil and gas industry. This book is intended as a comprehensive reference for integrity engineers, production chemists, oilfield microbiologists, and scientists working in the field of petroleum microbiology or corrosion. Exhaustively researched by leaders from both industry and academia, this book discusses the latest technological and scientific advances as well as relevant case studies to convey to readers an understanding of MIC and its effective management.
