This dissertation evaluated critical aspects of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and generated valuable information for the understanding and management of this corrosion threat. The main outcomes include a better understanding of the preservation requirements for field samples to obtain accurate results; an innovative approach for MIC assessment that consists of the identification of total and active microbial communities; knowledge of the effect that environmental and operational conditions can have on microbial communities and MIC. | en_US |
