It is believed that microorganisms from pristine environments, which have not been explored or have relatively negligible anthropogenic activities, are likely to be novel microbes that producing novel and unique biological compounds. The unique characteristics of cave environments, such as complete darkness...
Drastic changes in the demand for water within a building can also cause corrosion in pipes, valves, and other materials that make up its plumbing. That corrosion can lead to higher levels of other contaminants, such as lead and copper, which can leach into the water, says Kelsey Pieper, a...

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 ...
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...
hope for the best. This hit-or-miss approach is not based on scientific principles and any positive, negative, or damaging results remain unexplained. In some cases, undesirable bio-metabolites such as hydrogen sulfide have caused irreversible reservoir damage, equipment corrosion, and health threats...
friendly material for injection molding, it has a few drawbacks [30]. Stainless steel (SS) is the most widely utilized metal in healthcare settings owing to its clean appearance, better mechanical strength, efficient biocompatibility, and corrosion-resistant nature. However, using this metal has ...
