“…facilitated the breakdown of passivity by excreting organic acids, thus resulting in an increase in the corrosion rates of metals. Busalmen et al [57] attributed the acceleration in the corrosion rate to the cathodic reduction by the catalase secreted by Pseudomonas. The Pseudomonas species isolated from the cooling tower also produce the catalase enzyme.…”

An analysis of a culturable corrosive bacterial community in water samples from a cooling tower was performed using traditional cultivation techniques and its identification based on 16S rRNA gene sequence. Seven aerobic bacterial species were identified: Pseudomonas putida ARTYP1, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ARTYP2, Massilia timonae ARTYP3, Massilia albidiflava ARTYP4, Pseudomonas mosselii ARTYP5, Massilia sp. ARTYP6, and Pseudomonas sp. ARTYP7. Although some of these species have commonly been observed and reported in biocorrosion studies, the genus Massilia is identified for the first time in water from a cooling tower. The biocorrosion behaviour of copper metal by the new species Massilia timonae ARTYP3 was selected for further investigation using a weight loss method, as well as electrochemical and surface analysis techniques (SEM, AFM, and FTIR). In contrast with an uninoculated system, thin bacterial biofilms and pitting corrosion were observed on the copper metal surface in the presence of M. timonae. The use of a biocide, bronopol, inhibited the formation of biofilm and pitting corrosion on the copper metal surface.

“…Hence, it can be concluded that the formation of organic metallic complex may adsorb on the metal surface and reduce the anodic current. Busalman et al [10] suggested the extracellular appearance of bacterial metabolites with a catalytic effect on the oxygen reduction in the presence of bacteria. Based on the present study, it can be explained that the bacterial production of catalase (catalase positive) indicates the production of hydrogen peroxide, which encourages an autocatalytic mechanism by which the oxygen reduction current increases.…”

“…4ascon -Control system (4th day); 4asb -ACE2 inoculated system (4th day); 10ascon -Control system (10th day); 10asbac -ACE2 inoculated system (10th day) petroleum products. Moreover, it produces catalase that overcomes the toxic nature of hydrogen peroxide, breaking peroxide into water and oxygen [10]. During the respiratory process, oxygen is consumed by ACE2 and converted into water, wherein H + is utilized from the degraded product and electrons are supplied by cytochrome oxidase enzyme.…”

A facultative anaerobic species Serratia marcescens ACE2 isolated from the corrosion products of diesel transporting pipeline in North West, India was identified by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The role of Serratia marcesens ACE2 on biodegradation of diesel and its influence on the corrosion of API 5LX steel has been elucidated. The degrading strain ACE2 is involved in the process of corrosion of steel API 5LX and also utilizes the diesel as an organic source. The quantitative biodegradation efficiency (BE) of diesel was 58%, calculated by gas-chromatography-mass spectrum analysis. On the basis of gas-chromatography-mass spectrum (GC-MS), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD), the involvement of Serratia marcescens on degradation and corrosion has been investigated. This basic study will be useful for the development of new approaches for detection, monitoring and control of microbial corrosion.

“…Catalase is an integral component of the bacterial cell response to oxidative stress, and together with superoxide dismutase and alkyl hydroperoxidases, it is thought to limit the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) by catalyzing its decomposition to water and oxygen [38]. An adapted schematic representation of the proposed catalase mechanism by Busalmen et al is shown in Figure 2 [39]. It is commonly accepted that oxygen reduction can proceed through a parallel mechanism involving the direct reduction via four electrons and a pathway where intermediate peroxide is formed.…”

Aluminum and its alloys are central materials for the aircraft industry. Aluminum alloys (AA) 7075 and 2024 are widely used both in the structures and in brittle sections of the airplanes. The presence of the alloying elements in these metals makes them susceptible to localized corrosion at the same time vulnerable to bacterial attachment. A great number of reports on aircraft deterioration are related to microbial growth by contamination inside fuel storage tanks and aircraft wing tanks; this phenomenon is known as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). As expected, corrosion and biocorrosion increase maintenance costs and time of the aircraft in the hangar. Therefore, the growing interest is to shed light on these issues and develop future inhibition methods. In this chapter, we will give an overview of microbiologically influenced corrosion associated with AA 2024 and 7075 by consortia and bacteria. Three mechanisms of biocorrosion in aluminium alloys have been described. In addition, some alternatives methods to battle the effect of biocorrosion will be shown, these methods are based on green compound which blocking of attached of bacteria and promote the detachment of biofilm, being these a tendency of the last innovation way to inhibit this kind of phenomenon.
