T1 - Water-Fueled Autocatalytic Bactericidal Pathway based on e-Fenton-Like Reactions Triggered by Galvanic Corrosion and Extracellular Electron Transfer N2 - Water is generally considered to be an undesirable substance in fuel system, which may lead to microbial contamination. The antibacterial strategies that can turn water into things of value with high disinfection efficacy have been urgently needed for fuel system. Here, we reveal a water-fueled autocatalytic bactericidal pathway comprised by bi-metal micro-electrode system, which can spontaneously produce reactive oxygen species (mainly H2O2 and O2•–) by the electron Fenton-like reaction in water medium without external energy., The respiratory chain component of bacteria and the galvanic corrosion on the coated metals were two electron sources in the system. The specific model of Ag-Ru water-fueled autocatalytic (WFA) microelectrode particles presents extremely high disinfection efficiency (>99.9999%) in less than one hour for three aerobic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis) in LB media and high disinfection efficiency for the anaerobic bacteria (Desulfovibrio alaskensis) in Postgate E media without natural light irradiation. Overall, the novel WFA Ag-Ru antibacterial material explored in this study has a high potential for sterilizing applications in fuel system and this work provides the potential for the development of non-chemical and water-based antibacterial materials, such as WFA Ag-Ru antibacterial coating on stainless steel.

Biofilms are known to form on different kinds of surfaces such as metal, concrete, and medical equipment. However, in some cases the effect of microorganisms on the material can be negative for the consistency and integrity of the material. Thus, to overcome the issues raised by MIC on a system, different physical, chemical, and biological strategies have been considered; all having their own advantages, limitations, and sometimes even unwanted disadvantages. Among all the methods, biocide treatments and antifouling coatings are more common for controlling MIC, though they face some challenges. They lack specificity for MIC microorganisms, leading to cross-resistance and requiring higher concentrations. Moreover, they pose environmental risks and harm non-target organisms. Hence, the demand for eco-friendly, long-term solutions is increasing as regulations tighten. Recently, attentions have been directed to the application of nanomaterials to mitigate or control MIC due to their significant antimicrobial efficiency and their potential for lower environmental risk compared to the conventional biocides or coatings. Use of nanomaterials to inhibit MIC is very new and there is a lack of literature review on this topic. To address this issue, we present a review of the nanomaterials examined as a biocide or in a form of a coating on a surface to mitigate MIC. This review will help consolidate the existing knowledge and research on the use of nanomaterials for MIC mitigation. It will further contribute to a better understanding of the potential applications and challenges associated with using nanomaterials for MIC prevention and control.

The use of NIR excitable NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ UCNPs enables background free read-out. Furthermore, the spectrally matching optical properties of the UCNPs and the dyes allow the UCNPs to serve as excitation light source for the analyteresponsive BODIPY as well as intrinsic reference. The blue upconversion luminescence (UCL) of NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ UCNPs excited at 980 nm, that overlaps with the absorption of the pH-sensitive fluorophore, provides reabsorption based excitation of the dye, the spectrally distinguishable green fluorescence of which is switched ON upon protonation, preventing photoinduced electron transfer (PET) within the dye moiety, and the pH-inert red UCL act as reference. The intensities ratios of the dye’s fluorescence and the analyte-inert red Tm3+ UCL correlate directly with pH, which was successfully utilized for Monitoring timedependent pH changes of a suspension of quiescent E. coli metabolizing D-glucose.

For this, a MIC-specific staining procedure was developed, which ensures the analysis of intact cells. It allows the analysis of archaea at a single cell level, which is extremely scarce compared to other well-characterized organisms. The detection method revealed elemental selectivity for the corrosive methanogenic strain Methanobacterium -affiliated IM1. Hence, the possible uptake of individual elements from different steel samples was investigated and results showed the cells responded at a single-cell level to the different types of supplemented elements and displayed the abilities to uptake chromium, vanadium, titanium, cobalt, and molybdenum from solid metal surfaces. The methods developed and information obtained will be used in the future to elucidate underlying mechanisms, compliment well-developed methods, such as SEM-EDS, and develop novel material protection concepts.

T1 - Multifunctional polyoxomolybdate ionic liquid coatings for mitigating microbiologically influenced corrosion N2 - Corrosion of metals and other materials in marine environments poses significant economic, operational, safety, and environmental challenges across the oil and gas industry, the renewable energy sector, and maritime infrastructure. Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) accounts for a substantial portion of this corrosion, with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and methanogenic archaea (MA) being key contributors. Conventional methods such as cathodic polarization have proven insufficient in mitigating the colonization of corrosive microbial communities in real marine environments, requiring the development of alternative, broad-spectrum antimicrobial strategies to prevent such biofilm formation. Recently, molybdate has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional biocides and nitrate. Our hypothesis is polyoxometalate-ionic liquids (POM-ILs), which exhibit antimicrobial and anticorrosion properties, could have a broader spectrum of antimicrobial activity than demonstrated until now and could be capable of shielding and protecting sensitive metal surfaces from the extreme acidic environments produced by MIC microorganisms. Here we show how two prototype polyoxomolybdate-based POM-ILs, [(CH3(CH2)6)4N]2[Mo6O19] and [(CH3(CH2)6)4N]4[Mo8O26], demonstrated antimicrobial activity at microgram per millilitre concentrations, prevented biofilm formation on metal surfaces, and provided resistance to corrosive acidic environments. Furthermore, impedance measurements were commensurate with electron microscopy studies showing that POM-IL-coated brass coupons withstood extremely corrosive environments. These proof-of-concept results demonstrate how multi-functional POM-IL coatings represent promising MIC mitigation solutions by providing a hydrophobic acid-resistant and biocidal protective layer that prevents biocolonisation and acidic corrosion by MIC microorganisms.

Solomon, Moses A1 - Snape, Matthew T1 - Advances in the Mitigation of Microbiologically Influenced Concrete Corrosion: A Snapshot N2 - Concrete, a versatile construction material, faces pervasive deterioration due to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in various applications, including sewer systems, marine engineering, and buildings. MIC is initiated by microbial activities such as involving sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB), etc., producing corrosive substances like sulfuric acid. This process significantly impacts structures, causing economic losses and environmental concerns. Despite over a century of research, MIC remains a debated issue, lacking standardized assessment methods. Microorganisms contribute to concrete degradation through physical and chemical means. In the oil and gas industry, SRB and SOB activities may adversely affect concrete in offshore platforms. MIC challenges also arise in cooling water systems and civil infrastructures, impacting concrete surfaces. Sewer systems experience biogenic corrosion, primarily driven by SRB activities, leading to concrete deterioration. Mitigation traditionally involves the use of biocides and surface coatings, but their long-term effectiveness and environmental impact are questionable. Nowadays, it is important to design more eco-friendly mitigation products. The microbial-influenced carbonate precipitation is one of the green techniques and involves incorporating beneficial bacteria with antibacterial activity into cementitious materials to prevent the growth and the formation of a community that contains species that are pathogenic or may be responsible for MIC. These innovative strategies present promising avenues for addressing MIC challenges and preserving the integrity of concrete structures. This review provides a snapshot of the MIC in various areas and mitigation measures, excluding underlying mechanisms and broader influencing factors.

T1 - Novel Multiport Flow-Column Corrosion Monitoring System (MFC) Revealed High Corrosion Rates by Corrosive Methanogenic Archaea N2 - MFC was used to study the corrosiveness of iron-utilizing methanogen, Methanobacterium IM1 under flow conditions. Comparing against electrical SRM, Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5, results showed under standard mesophilic conditions, average corrosion rates of Methanobacterium IM1 was double that of SRM. The highest corrosion rate of Methanobacterium IM1 reached up to 0.60 mm/yr under neutral conditions, and severe pitting was observed on the iron surface. Furthermore, the corrosion products of Methanobacterium IM1 were characterized with TOF-SIM, FIB-SEM and EDX, and preliminary results revealed FeCO3 is not the only corrosion product of Mi-MIC, as previously reported. Under low pH conditions, the maximum corrosion rate of Methanobacterium IM1 reached 1.57 mm/yr, which resulted in severed deformity of the iron specimen. Additional comparisons using different types of incubation material were conducted to standardize MFC MIC testing.

Methanogenetic Archaea are also known to be involved in iron corrosion, forming a multi-species biofilm on corroding metallic structures. However, mechanistic details and kinetics of the overall process in methanogen-induced MIC are poorly understood.

SRM act upon the metal by the re-activeness of hydrogen sulfide (HS-), and by withdrawal of the available electrons in electrical contact with the metal (EMIC). Methanogenic archaea (MA) can also cause MIC (Mi-MIC). Several MAs were identified to be corrosive by using elemental iron as the sole electron donor for methanogenesis, including Methanobacterium­-affliated IM1 and Methanococcus maripaludis Mic1c10. Currently, low corrosion rates were reported for MA, possibly due to the formation of siderite (4Fe + 5HCO3- + 5H+ ® 4FeCO3 + CH4 + 3H2O). Since MA do not produce HS-, withdrawal of electrons may be their main corrosive mechanism; however, mechanistic details and kinetics of the overall process are poorly understood. To investigate the corrosion potential of MA, we studied the EMIC methanogenic strains (IM1 and Mic1c10) individually or part of a syntrophic co-culture with SRM. Corrosion studies were conducted using an in-house developed flow-through system to simulate fluctuating environmental conditions. Results indicate that the rates of iron corrosion by MA (up to 0.4 mm/yr) are higher to that caused by the marine SRM Desulfovibrio alaskensis (0.15 mm/yr) and the co-culture (0.1 mm/yr). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the metal incubated with MA showed severe pitting corrosion. Genomic analysis of the EMIC MA was conducted to provide an insight on the possible cellular mechanisms that could be involved. Furthermore, low concentrations of MA-targeting biocides will be applied to EMIC MA in static and flow conditions to gain insights for possible mitigation strategies. Such knowledge and deeper understanding also from an electrokinetic point of view may not only provide further models in microbial electrophysiology, but also contribute to mitigation strategies in MIC.

However, differing perspectives, thought processes, and even variations in nomenclature/terminology often hinder the establishment of effective collaborations. Over the past four years, COST Action Euro-MIC (CA20130) has effectively addressed these discrepancies. Through regular meetings, conferences, and scientific exchanges, a large international network has been established. Many scientific findings and results have been achieved through scientific, interdisciplinary exchange within the international network. The upcoming presentation will highlight three examples (among many others) that have resulted in successful collaborations, third-party funding applications, publications, or outstanding results and emphasize that successful results in MIC research, facilitated by an interdisciplinary network, can lead more quickly to meaningful and application-oriented findings. Project 1&2 describe two different kinds of Projects related to the use of Nanoparticles; one is about the efficacy testing of novel Nanoparticles. Project 2 deals about how to apply already working and tested nanoparticles to different materials and conditions. Project 3a is related to the energy sector; a crucial part of our society, and currently undergoing significant changes. Climate change, rising temperatures, increased use of fertilizers and other environmental pollutants have led to an increasing occurrence of microorganisms and contamination in some sectors. But how we deal with “baggage” from the past and store nuclear waste without harm or risk for human and environment, but also how to transfer the gained knowledge to areas like safe Hydrogen storage in geological underground formation.

Unlike the USA, Canada, and Australia, Europe has less developed cooperation on MIC. Although several research groups and industrial stakeholders are addressing MIC, discussions remain fragmented, and information exchange is limited. A truly transdisciplinary approach is rarely seen. As a result, Europe often relies on methods, preventive measures, and standards from other regions, as there are no equivalent European standards. This situation makes Europe a) highly dependent, and b) in some cases, unable to use certain measures or standards due to European legal restrictions (e.g., the use of biocides). In 2021, researchers established the “Euro-MIC” network, financially supported by the EU project “COST-Action,” to tackle these issues. Through COST-Action, Euro-MIC aims to facilitate necessary interactions, communication, knowledge sharing, and training for personnel and researchers across various disciplines. COST-Action supports network activities, workshops, training schools, conferences, and more. Euro-MIC aspires to position Europe as a leader in MIC, promoting ideas on par with other nations while upholding European values and ensuring greater protection for people, property, and the environment. In this presentation, I will briefly introduce the principles of COST Action and highlight the significant opportunities provided by this EU-funded project. COST Action fosters interdisciplinarity, networking, training, scientific exchange, and the promotion of young scientists. By showcasing some examples of CA20130 COST ACTION Euro-MIC, I hope to demonstrate that COST Action is not only relevant for addressing MIC but can also be applied to other important topics and sectors.

MIC describes the negative effects a material can experience due to the presence of microorganisms. In Europe, several research groups/ other industrial stakeholders are already dealing with MIC. Unfortunately, the discussions are fragmented and the exchange of information is limited. A true transdisciplinary approach is hardly ever experienced, although this would be logical for this material/biology related challenge. USA, Canada and Australia have strong networks, and develop methods, prevention measures and standards, which Europe is forced to use, since nothing similar exists for a network and combined knowledge to design them according to european standards. This makes Europe extremely dependent and, in some cases, the potential measures or standards cannot been used because the suggested solutions are prohibited by European laws (e.g. use of biocides). Therefore, it is important to initiate a new European MIC-network. Europe needs to combine the efforts as experts in different fields and develop prevention measures according to the European rules, in close cooperation with industry and plant operators and owners of critical infrastructure. This COST Action will provide the necessary interaction and communication, knowledge sharing, training of personnel and of researchers of different disciplines. This will bring Europe to a leading role in this process, bringing ideas on an equal level with other nations, considering the values which are important for Europe and attitudes (e.g.environmental protection) and representing greater protection for people, property and the environment. The main aim and objective of the Action is to , in the context of MIC-research/control, encourage a fluent/synergistic collaboration/communication, closing the gap between materials scientists, engineers, microbiologists, chemists and integrity managers to encourage sufficient interaction between academia and industry. This Action will create a common MIC-Network, including the important stakeholders.
