Various cases of accidents involving microbiology influenced corrosion (MIC) were reported by the oil and gas industry. Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) have always been linked to MIC mechanisms as one of the major causes of localized corrosion problems. In this study, SRB colonies were isolated from the soil in suspected areas near the natural gas transmission pipeline in Malaysia. The effects of ATCC 7757 and consortium of isolated SRB upon corrosion on API 5L X-70 carbon steel coupon were investigated using a weight loss method, an open circuit potential method (OCP), and a potentiodynamic polarization curves method in anaerobic conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were then used to determine the corrosion morphology in verifying the SRB activity and corrosion products formation. Results from the study show that the corrosion rate (CR) of weight loss method for the isolated SRB is recorded as 0.2017 mm/yr compared to 0.2530 mm/yr for ATCC 7757. The Tafel plot recorded the corrosion rate of 0.3290 mm/yr for Sg. Ular SRB and 0.2500 mm/yr forDesulfovibrio vulgaris. The results showed that the consortia of isolated SRB were of comparable effects and features with the single ATCC 7757 strain.

ABSTRACTThere is a growing need for biocompatible, broad-spectrum, nonantibiotic, antimicrobial treatments because of the frequent ineffectiveness of antibiotics against biofilms and the increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance. In this study, we demonstrate rapid and complete biofilm eradication in anin vitromodel with synergistic combinations of glyceryl trinitrate and caprylic acid against resistant Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and fungal biofilms.

This study investigates how sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) influence the process of microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) of carbon steel by measuring corrosion potential using open-circuit potential (OCP) measurements. MIC is mainly influenced byDesulfovibrio vulgaris, formerly known asDesulfovibrio desulfuricans subsp. Desulfuricans, deposited asspirillum desulfuricans, which produces D(-)-lactate dehydrogenase. This strain was recommended by ATCC to be used in the tests described in ASTM. A pure colony of SRB was isolated from the Baram and Sungai Ular areas in Malaysia. An evaluation of SRB growth was performed during the test in the inoculated medium anaerobically at 37 ̊. The results showed that the corrosion potentialEocincreases in the presence of SRB in pure and mixed cultures as compared to the control sample. These results indicate that the SRB caused the metal loss on the carbon steel surface through direct corrosive action of the H2S generated by the bacteria during their metabolic process of reducing sulfates to the sulfide form.
