Biocorrosion is the result of electrochemical reactions that are influenced or driven by microorganisms, which are often present as biofilms. In recent years it has become clear that microbes do not only cause corrosion, but they can also inhibit or protect against corrosion, which is summarized ...
Hydrogen sulfide generation is one of the key detriments linked to microbial activity in the oil and gas industry and is the most likely cause of most microbiologically influenced corrosion. H2S is extremely corrosive to most metals and can significantly devalue produced fluids and gases as well as...
Biocementation technology, which involves the use of mining microbes to secrete cement-like materials that bind soil particles together, is a promising approach to restore mine tailing sites and reduce their mobility and toxicity. However, there is a lack of literature on the combined interactions ...
Dr. Urbaniak, joint first author added: "Some of the microorganisms we identified on the ISS have also been implicated in microbial induced corrosion on Earth. However, the role they play in corrosion aboard the ISS remains to be determined. In addition to understanding the possible impact of ...
"Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in adults in Westernized communities." said Professor O'Keefe, "Our results suggest that a diet that maintains the health of the colon wall is also one that maintains general body health and reduces heart disease". ...
Specifically, for example, for treatment of food waste, lactobacillus that can promote lactic acid fermentation to cause fermentation rather than putrefaction is suitably selected as the soil microbe. For promotion of plant growth, photosynthetic bacteria are suitable. For preparation of fertilizer from...
However, this productivity was only achieved at a salinity of about 50% seawater, a concentration that would cause serious corrosion in conventional stainless steel fermentors. Costs of producing microbial lipids containing polyenoic fatty acids, and especially the highly unsaturated fatty acids, such ...

(DHA, C22:6n-3; and DPA, C22:5n-6) productivity of about 0.158 g/L/hr, when grown to cell density of 59 g/L/hr in 120 hours. However, this productivity was only achieved at a salinity of about 50% seawater, a concentration that would cause serious corrosion in conventional ...
