Formation of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) biofilm accelerates microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). The aim of this study was to investigate both the corrosivity of a marine SRB consortium on carbon steel coupons and its mitigation in the presence of ZnO. Metagenomics analysis revealed that Halodesulfovibrio (78.9%) was predominant and could be related to MIC. The analysis also showed a remarkable shift from a highly corrosive SRB consortium in the control bioreactors to a far less corrosive consortium when ZnO was added to the bioreactors. Further results indicated that the corrosion rate of the SRB consortium was 8.17 mpy on the carbon steel coupons. In the ZnO-treated bioreactors, the count of SRB and MIC in the carbon steel coupons simultaneously reduced. Moreover, Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy and profilometry analysis determined that ZnO could significantly decrease the amount of biofilm and the corrosion rate. Electrochemical experiments revealed higher corrosion current density (i) and lower charge transfer resistance (R) in the control bioreactors relative to the ZnO-treated bioreactors. We introduce Halodesulfovibrio as a potentially important corrosive genus in a marine SRB consortium. Additionally, ZnO could be considered a proper candidate to control the corrosion induced by Halodesulfovibrio.

Introduction: Pediatric sarcomas, including osteosarcoma (OS), Ewing sarcoma (EwS) and rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) carry low somatic mutational burden and low MHC-I expression, posing a challenge for T cell therapies. Our previous study showed that mediators of monocyte maturation sensitized the EwS cell line A673 to lysis by HLA-A*02:01/CHM1-specific allorestricted T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic CD8 T cells (CHM1 CD8 T cells).
Methods: In this study, we tested a panel of monocyte maturation cytokines for their ability to upregulate immunogenic cell surface markers on OS, EwS and RMS cell lines, using flow cytometry.

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRBs) and dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria (DIRBs) are recognized as significant contributors to the occurrence of elevated arsenic (As) levels in groundwater. However, the precise effects and underlying mechanisms of their interactions on As behavior within sediments remain poorly understood. In this investigation, we compared the impacts and mechanisms of DIRBs, SRBs, and mixed bacterial consortia on the migration behavior of As and Fe/S species.

Article Synopsis
- The study addresses microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in the oil exploration sector, caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that form biofilms and produce corrosive hydrogen sulfide.
- Researchers tested a bacteriophage with biofilm-degrading enzymes to inhibit SRB biofilm formation and reduce hydrogen sulfide production in a complex SRB community.
- Results showed that high and medium concentrations of the phage effectively prevented biofilm development and changed bacterial behaviors, suggesting non-specific phages could be a novel solution for controlling biocorrosion while raising concerns about their impact on beneficial geological bacteria.
