“…It occurs by chemical and or electrochemical oxidation of the metal (anodic reaction) in reaction with an oxidant, such as oxygen or sulfates (cathodic reaction). Therefore, corrosion is a genuine concern, with an economic cost reaching annual values of approximately US$2.5 trillion of direct costs, which corresponds to 3.4% of global gross domestic product (GDP), and about US$875 billion annually to prevent damage and services [1][2][3].…”

“…Biocorrosion, or Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC), designates microorganisms' involvement in the corrosion process, which may accelerate, induce, or even inhibit it [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. These organisms are generally microscopic, and the involvement occurs by a chemical or electrochemical mechanism.…”

“…MIC can be associated with biofilm, a microorganism community or consortium that adheres to abiotic surfaces [1,5]. Among the diverse organisms that may influence corrosion, we can cite bacteria, such as sulfur-oxidizing and iron-reducing bacteria, fungi, and algae in a lower number [2][3][4][5]7]. Fungi are well-known organic acid producers and can contribute to MIC [1,5].…”

A Penicillium sp. strain was isolated from corroded parts in the Coaracy Nunes hydroelectric power plant in Amapá State, Brazil. Morphological and molecular techniques identified this strain as Penicillium citreosulfuratum Biourge, whose 5.8S-ITS rDNA sequence grouped well in a phylogenetic tree with other Exilicaulis section species of the Penicillium genus. The obtained strain of P. citreosulfuratum ability to form biofilm on the surface of aluminum wires was confirmed by optical and scanning electron microscopy. In plates containing PDA or T&K media, the P. citreosulfuratum strain growth was inhibited around a paper disk containing a highly concentrated solution of copper, iron, or nickel. However, there was no inhibition halo around the paper disk containing aluminum and there was a faint halo around the paper disk containing zinc. This fungus was able to grow in a modified T&K liquid medium containing 50 mM of Al 3+ and less efficiently in the same medium but containing 50 mM Zn 2+ . The essential oils of melaleuca, mint, thyme, and oregano at 100% inhibited the fungus growth. Oregano essential oil inhibited the P. citreosulfuratum strain growth in concentrations as low as 10%. In conclusion, the results show that the obtained strain of P. citreosulfurarum HIGHLIGHTS• A strain of Penicillium citreosulfuratum was isolated from corroded metal.• The fungus formed biofilm on the surface of aluminum wire.• This strain grew in the presence of 50 mM Al 3+ in liquid medium.• Thyme, oregano, and melaleuca essential oils inhibited this strain growth.

Due to its excellent resistance to corrosion, stainless steel has a broad employment scope in oilfields. It is defenceless against microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Here, organisms directly cause corrosion. Microorganisms release disruptive metabolites or organisms collect electrons from the metal for breathing to produce energy. They are responsible for the onset or escalation of corrosion caused by previously existing detrimental specialists such as water and carbon dioxide. However, only a few reports on their real success against MIC have been published. Numerous studies on stainless steel, in the presence of microorganisms, are discussed. An analysis of microbiological contamination is also detailed. It focuses on the general perspectives of the various microscopic species involved in biocorrosion. A review on this topic is necessary to understand the various factors considered to select a certain material for a specific purpose. This article combines the various grades of steel, their applications, their studies, and results all in one view making it easier for the reader to understand the importance of microbially influenced corrosion.

“…For example, the overgrowth of bacteria on textile surfaces can lead to an unpleasant odor, dermatitis, and even other cross infections, while bacterial contamination on the surfaces of implants and wound dressings will pose a great threat to people’s life and health. In addition, the surface bacterial contamination of industrial equipment can lead to equipment failure, material corrosion, and cause economic losses ( Monafo et al, 1976 ; Donlan, 2001 ; Hetrick and Schoenfisch, 2006 ; Procopio, 2022 ). Hence, surface bacterial contamination has become a significant threat to human health, industrial production safety, and even bringing a heavy burden on society.…”

The development of a versatile antibacterial coating, irrespective of material characteristics, is greatly attractive but still a challenge. In this work, mussel-inspired dopamine-modified sodium alginate (SA-DA) was successfully synthesized as the adhesion layer, and antibacterial coatings on three types of substrates, namely cotton fabric, aluminum sheet, and polyurethane membrane, were constructed through the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of polyhexamethylene guanidine and sodium alginate. Among the coated materials, the coated cotton fabric was systematically characterized, and the results showed that it still exhibited ideal hydrophilicity, and its liquid absorption capacity increased with an increase in the coating layers. The growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was notably inhibited on the coated cotton fabric, and 10 coating bilayers achieved 100% inhibition of bacterial growth within 10 min. Furthermore, an ideal antibacterial ability maintained after 10 cycles of antibacterial trials or 50 washing or soaping cycles. In vitro evaluation of the hemostatic effect indicated that the coated cotton fabric could promote blood clotting by concentrating the components of blood and activating the platelets, and no significant hemolysis and cytotoxicity were observed in the coated cotton fabric. Moreover, the coated aluminum and polyurethane film also displayed an obvious antibacterial effect, which proved that the constructed coating could successfully adhere to the metal and polymer surfaces. Therefore, this work provided a proper way for the progress of a current antibacterial coating tactics for different substrate surfaces.
