Bioavailability is herein defined as the accessibility of a substrate by a microorganism. Further, bioavailability is governed by (1) the substrate concentration that the cell membrane “sees,” (i.e., the “directly bioavailable” pool) as well as (2) the rate of mass transfer from potentially bioavailable (e.g., nonaqueous) phases to the directly bioavailable (e.g., aqueous) phase. Mechanisms by which sorbed (bio)surfactants influence these two processes are discussed. We propose the hypothesis that the sorption of (bio)surfactants at the solid-liquid interface is partially responsible for the increased bioavailability of surface-bound nutrients, and offer this as a basis for suggesting the development of engineered in-situ bioremediation technologies that take advantage of low (bio)surfactant concentrations. In addition, other industrial systems where bioavailability phenomena should be considered are addressed.

In the aquatic environment, biocorrosion is an important factor affecting the reliability and durability of concrete structures. The destruction of cement concretes during biological corrosion is determined by the processes of mass transfer. The article presents the development of a calculated mathematical model of liquid corrosion in cement concrete, taking into account the biogenic factor. For the first time, a model of mass transfer in an unbounded two-layer plate is considered in the form of differential equations of parabolic type in partial derivatives with boundary conditions of the second kind at the interface between concrete and liquid and of the fourth kind at the interface between concrete and biofilm. The results of a numerical experiment are presented to study the influence of the coefficients of mass conductivity and mass transfer on the kinetics and dynamics of the process.
