Development of Molecular Biomarkers for Monitoring and Mitigation of Microbial Corrosion
Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) is a widespread and costly challenge across many industries. In most cases, MIC is driven by complex, multispecies biofilms with diverse metabolic activities. While some biofilms are non-corrosive, others can cause severe damage to steel and related infrastructure. Distinguishing corrosive from non-corrosive microorganisms remains difficult with current methods, and MIC diagnosis…
