• Microbiological corrosion: mechanism, control and impact—a review (2017, neutral): “MIC applies not only to metals but also to non-metallic surfaces such as concrete and can result in severe industry losses [4].”
• Bacterial cell attachment, the beginning of a biofilm (2007, background): “In certain industrial situations, bacterial cell attachment to metallic surfaces may result in biocorrosion, resulting in the damage to pipelines and other important metallic surfaces and costing millions of dollars in repairs [6].”
• Metals, minerals and microbes: geomicrobiology and bioremediation. (2010, neutral): “The deterioration of metal due to microbial activity is termed biocorrosion or microbially influenced corrosion (Beech & Sunner, 2004).”
• Biofilm Formation in Food Processing Environments is Still Poorly Understood and Controlled (2014, background): “…in pipelines and tanks resulting at least in metal loss; and contamination of product by nonstarter bacteria (e.g. cheese by nonstarter lactic acid bacteria) (Wong 1998; Gram et al. 2002; Chmielewski and Frank 2003; Beech and Sunner 2004; Wijman et al. 2007; Shi and Zhu 2009; Malek et al. 2012).”
• Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “Microbial surface colonization and surface-associated metabolic activities also exert macroscale deleterious effects, including biofouling (13, 56), biocorrosion (18, 55, 69), and the persistence and transmission of harmful or pathogenic microorganisms and virulence determinants (23, 33, 70).”
