microbial corrosion

Some cells can also be used to monitor the microbial corrosion.

Microbial corrosion can also apply to plastics, concrete, and many other materials.

Various corrosion inhibitors can be used to combat microbial corrosion.

Antiseptics are used to counter microbial corrosion.

HUM bug (e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa), a hydrocarbon utilizing microorganism living in jet fuel and causing microbial corrosion of fuel systems.

In response to increased awareness of the nature and danger of microbial corrosion, a two-day international symposium was held in Perth, Western Australia in February 2007.

Microbial corrosion, or commonly known as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), is a corrosion caused or promoted by microorganisms, usually chemoautotrophs.

The applications of Benzalkonium Chloride are extremely wide ranging, from disinfectant formulations, such as being an active ingredient in Dettol and Lysol brand products, to microbial corrosion inhibition in the oilfield sector, and a multi-surface mould, algae and moss remover.

They live in the water-fuel interface of the water droplets, form dark black/brown/green, gel-like mats, and cause microbial corrosion to plastic and rubber parts of the aircraft fuel system by consuming them, and to the metal parts by the means of their acidic metabolic products.

The remainder of the structure is actually a complex community of symbiotic or mutualistic microbes including bacteria Halomonas titanicae and fungi that use the rusting metal as a source of food, causing microbial corrosion and collectively producing the mineral compounds as waste products and hence forming the rusticle.
