“…It makes much more sense if instead of confusing term 'biofilm'; a Greek-derived word 'temenos' [10] is preferred. The Greek, τέμενος, for 'A sacred enclosure or precinct' but the word 'temenos' is derived from the Greek 'temeno' that means' to cut off'.…”

The central concept of microbiologically influenced corrosion is 'biofilm'. However, it is neither a 100% biological fabric nor a film. While biofilms though mechanisms such as establishment of differential aeration cells can accelerate corrosion, under certain circumstances such as thickening may also decelerate corrosion. In this article, these mechanisms will be discussed. Along with that, this author also introduces a new term that can replace the term 'biofilm'. This new term, 'temenos', has been proposed to indicate that when a biofilm forms, electrochemical conditions under the biofilm and those of the bulk will be highly different from each other.

This paper tackles bacteria of the genus Bacillus as both biodamaging/biodegrading and biocontrolling agents. The article addresses the said bacteria’s ability to form biofilms and corrosive, antimicrobial and antibiofilm proactive compounds, primarily, siderophores. Their role depends on the species, microorganism strain, production of antimicrobial substances, biofilm formation, and the type of damaged material. The bacteria under analysis have demonstrated the ability to cause as well as inhibit biodamage. The involvement of bacteria of the genus Bacillus in microbiologically influenced corrosion processes is determined by the production of corrosive metabolites and the impact of certain bioelectrochemical mechanisms. Lipopeptides generated by Bacillus subtilis (surfactin, iturin and fengycin) are capable of modifying surfaces’ hydrophobic properties and impacting the microbes’ adhesion to surfaces. Produced by Bacillus velezensis, the siderophore bacillibactin at a high concentration is capable of inhibiting the formation of bacterial biofilms, thus slowing down the degradation of materials. Further study of siderophores as green inhibitors of microbiologically influenced corrosion may be promising as the said compounds possess antibiofilm-forming properties and high-intensity inhibitory capabilities.
