Abstract

Efforts to elucidate the relationships between microorganisms and metal corrosion were mainly directed to understanding the formation of biofilm structures grown on corroded surfaces. The emergence of high throughput DNA sequencing techniques has helped in the description of microbial species involved directly and indirectly in the corrosion processes of alloys. Coupled with sequencing from environmental samples, other methodologies such as metatranscriptome, metaproteomics and metabolomics have allowed a new horizon to be opened on the understanding of the role of corrosive microbial biofilm. Several groups of bacteria and archaea were identified, showing the dominance of Proteobacteria in several samples analyzed and members of groups that previously received less attention, such as Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Our research also shows that metagenomic studies describe the presence of various Archaea domain thermophilic and methanogenic groups associated with metal corrosion. Thus, opening the prospect of describing new microbial groups as possible participants in this current global concern.
