Abstract
The mechanism of pitting corrosion of carbon steel by an oilfield microbial consortium was investigated using a combination of X-ray micro-computed tomography (µCT), surface analytical techniques and DNA/RNA-based 16S sequencing. The most active microorganisms in biofilms were Thermoanaerobacter sp., a type of fermentative, thiosulphate-reducing bacteria. µCT allowed the identification of corrosion products phases as well as their volume percent...
