souring control
Biodegradation | SpotlightMetabolites of an Oil Field Sulfide-Oxidizing, Nitrate-Reducing Sulfurimonas sp. Cause Severe CorrosionAmbiguous reports of corrosion problems associated with the injection of nitrate for souring control necessitate a deeper understanding of this frequently applied bioengineering strategy. Sulfide-oxidizing, nitrate-reducing bacteria have been proposed as key culprits, despite the underlying microbial corrosion mechanisms remaining insufficiently understood. This study provides a comprehensive characterization of how individual metabolic...
