In this work, we studied the microbiologically influenced corrosion mechanism of Cu by marine ammonifying bacterium Alcaligenes aquatilis. Through immersion experiments, we found that A. aquatilis could accelerate the corrosion rate of copper, resulting in the development of pits.

- The study focused on how the presence of molybdenum (Mo) in low-alloy steel affects corrosion caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
- Despite adding 1.0 wt% Mo, the corrosion rate didn't decrease; rather, it increased in the presence of the bacteria, leading to pitting on the steel.
- Microscopy revealed more biofilm adhesion on the Mo steel, and an RNA-seq assay showed that Mo influenced genes related to the bacteria's movement and adhesion, contributing to increased biofilm formation.
